Symmetry and complementarity: a discussion and a qualitative demonstration with computer generated infinite patterns of natural scenes

Published:26 August 2005Publication History

ABSTRACT

The ultimate goal of visual perception is the definition of the surrounding-the global whole, made of parts and element, within global and local relationships. The visual process aims at the isolation of wholes through distinguishing their particular attributes from their neighbours and understanding their relationships (such as figure vs. ground), which result in hierarchical order, grouping and attention.
