Abstract :
A neural network model for the perception of occluded surfaces from subjective contours has been presented. This model employs an important two-stage process of the induced stimuli extraction system (ISES) and subjective surfaces perception system (SSPS). The former system extracts the induced stimuli for the perception of subjective surfaces, and the latter forms the subjective surfaces from the induced stimuli. The proposed model is based on the mechanism of feature extraction found in the visual pathway. The results of the experiment showed that the proposed model was successful not only in extracting the induced stimuli for the perception of subjective contours, but also in perceiving the subjective surface from the induced stimuli
