ECVision indexed and annotated bibliography of cognitive computer vision publications This bibliography was created by Hilary Buxton and Benoit Gaillard, University of Sussex, as part of ECVision Specific Action 8-1 The complete text version of this BibTeX file is available here: ECVision_bibliography.bib R. A. Rensink and J. T. Enns Early completion of occluded objects ABSTRACT We show that early vision can use monocular cues to rapidly complete partially-occluded objects. Visual search for easily-detected fragments becomes difficult when the completed shape is similar to others in the display; conversely, search for fragments that are difficult to detect becomes easy when the completed shape is distinctive. Results indicate that completion occurs via the occlusion-triggered removal of occlusion edges and linking of associated regions. We fail to find evidence for a visible filling-in of contours or surfaces, but do find evidence for a {"}functional{"} filling-in that prevents the constituent fragments from being rapidly accessed. As such, it is only the completed structures--and not the fragments themselves--that serve as the basis for rapid recognition.
