Considering the intensity of the stimuli that act upon a driver between these vehicles, the point at which the ...

Neurocomputing, 1999
Abstract In this paper, we present a mathematical theory for the Gestalt psychology from the perspective of a Markov random field (MRF) theory. We demonstrate how global perception of textures and shapes are sufficiently characterized by the propagation of local features.
