Project: Global effects in visual occlusion
The study of visual occlusion and amodal completion is recognized more and more as a fundamental issue in perception research. Thus far, however, the stimulus domain has been restricted to stylistic 2D line drawn stimuli. This project aims at an extension of occlusion research to the domain of natural object images. This extension of the stimulus domain will provide new impulses to the on-going global-local discussion in visual perception and to new ways of pattern encoding. A major goal is to test the basic assumption within Structural Information Theory that object completions are an inextricable part of object interpretations in which global regularities play a dominant role.
