Contour integration is an important intermediate stage of the object recognition, in which line segments belonging to an object boundary are perceptually linked and segmented from complex backgrounds.

Deep neural network models provide a powerful experimental platform for exploring core mechanisms underlying human visual perception, such as perceptual grouping and contour integration — the process ...

Abstract: Under difficult viewing conditions, the brain's visual system uses a variety of recurrent modulatory mechanisms to augment feedforward processing. One resulting phenomenon is contour ...

Contour integration in low-level vision is believed to occur based on lateral interaction between neurons with similar orientation tuning. How such interactions could arise in the brain has been an ...
