Gestalt Principles for Attention and Segmentation in Natural and Artificial Vision Systems
Gert Kootstra, Niklas Bergström, Danica Kragić · 2011
Abstract — Gestalt psychology studies how the human visual system organizes the complex visual input into unitary elements. In this paper we show how the Gestalt principles for perceptual grouping and for figure-ground segregation can be used in computer vision. A number of studies will be shown that demonstrate the applicability of Gestalt principles for the prediction of human visual attention and for the automatic detection and segmentation of unknown objects by a robotic system.
