Eitan M. Gurari, Harry Wechsler · IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence · 1982

However, as far as the authors know no formal argumentation has yet been given to this belief related to the segmentation problem. This correspondence provides some theoretical aspects of this phenomenon.
