The GESTALT-System is a stratified architecture for challenging computer vision tasks. This contribution focuses on the 3rd and 4th layer of it – the grouping and decision layer...

Abstract. Detecting contour closure, i.e., finding a cycle of disconnected contour fragments that separates an object from its background, is an important problem in perceptual gro...
We propose an algorithm that groups points similarly to how human observers do. It is simple, totally unsupervised and able to find clusters of complex and not necessarily convex s...
This paper presents an efficient algorithm for image segmentation and a framework for perceptual grouping. It makes an attempt to provide one way of combining bottomup and top-do...
This paper deals with understanding referring expressions involving perceptual grouping. The ability to use referring expressions is important for conversational agents aimed at r...
In this paper we present a novel vision-based system for automatic detection and extraction of complex road networks from various sensor resources such as aerial photographs, sate...
We present an algorithm that extracts curves from a set of edgels within a specific class in a decreasing order of their ``length''. The algorithm inherits the perceptual...
We propose a generic grouping algorithm that constructs a hierarchy of regions from the output of any contour detector. Our method consists of two steps, an Oriented Watershed Tran...
