Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A human visual system perceives boundary where there is no discontinuity on an tonality or brightness difference between an object and a ground. This is a perceptual contour. The visual system forms the perceptual contours to construct a three dimensional image from two dimensional image in visual system. In this paper, we consider that a role of the perceptual contours is to make deficit and/or occluded two dimensional image complete in the process to make three dimensional image. The model to form perceptual contours is proposed. In the model, lower visual system detects lines and their endpoints, and then the signals of lines and endpoints are sent to the higher visual stage. The hypothesis lines are formed based on the signals from lower visual system at higher visual stage. We also performed a computer simulation. As a result of simulation, the perceptual contours are formed as we perceive.
