The simple act of seeing an object conceals an array of fascinating
and difficult scientific questions. Since objects occlude
themselves and each other, the information available for seeing
objects is fragmentary. Yet we perceive whole objects, and doing so
provides a key foundation for action, thought, language and
learning. As we move, the visible parts of objects change, yet we
experience these objects as being stable over time. The phenomenal
coherence and stability of objects are simple facts of perceptual
experience, but they result from complex computational processes.
Despite years of work, researchers in biological and computational
vision have yet to achieve satisfactory accounts of unit formation.
The present period, however, is one of new insights and rapid
progress. This book addresses the problem of how the human visual
system organizes inputs that are fragmented in space and time into
coherent, stable perceptual units - objects. In doing so it
addresses the following questions: what kinds of segmentation and
grouping abilities exist in human perceivers? What information and
computational processes achieve segmentation and grouping? What are
the psychological consequences of perceiving whole objects? In an
effort to give a comprehensive, integrative answer to these
questions the volume includes chapters from authors in five areas:
philosophical foundations; computational and neural models of
segmentation and grouping; attention and grouping; development;
segmentation and grouping over time (event perception). The
chapters review the contemporary state of the field, describe
recent theoretical and empirical research, and provide some
explicit suggestions for future research direction. "From Fragments
to Objects: Segmentation and Grouping in Vision" takes a
comprehensive cognitive science approach to object perception,
brings together separate lines of research in object perception in
one volume, gives an integrated and up-to-date review of theory and
empirical research and offers directions for future study.
