Texture Perception and Shape from Texture.
Narendra Ahuja · 1984
The investigators are completing the first phase of the algorithm for perceptual segmentation of dot patterns. The results of expert processes that, in parallel, detect interiors, borders and curves due to lack of local evidence for the global role of dot. Each result is corrected such that (1) it agrees with the results of other experts, and (2) it provides locally smooth borders, The second phase will proceed from the lowest level groupings and build a hierarchy of groupings. The investigators have also started to investigate the use of a 'scale-space' representation to separate components of image textural variation due to three-dimensional distance and orientation changes.
