Perceptual Organization in Computer Vision
THEME
As recognized by the Gestalt school, the importance of perceptual organization
(PO) in human vision cannot be overestimated; it imparts both efficiency
and robustness to the visual process. Since early demonstrations in the
1980s underscored its usefulness in object recognition, the computer vision
community has seen various applications of PO in artificial vision systems
such as in stereo matching, model indexing, contour completion, figure-ground
segmentation, change detection, and more. Indeed, it can be argued that
a reasonable computational model of perception can be built around the
notion of repeated detection and classification of organized structure.
PO represents much of the often overlooked intermediate level processing
in computer vision systems. So, despite these observations, the full potential
of PO in artificial vision systems is yet to be realized.
While the Special Issue is being planned to coordinate with the Workshop,
the Guest Editors invite submissions from anyone working in the broad area
of perceptual organization in computer vision. Topics on which submissions
would be welcomed include, but are by no means limited to:
-
Perceptual organization of photometric primitives in 2D and 3D
-
Perceptual organization of motion sequences
-
Algorithms and methodologies
-
Formalisms and representations
-
Organization hierarchies
-
Performance comparisons, evaluations, or measures
-
Applications of perceptual organization in vision systems
-
Use of context and domain knowledge
-
Role of learning in perceptual organization.
