A Mathematical Method for Computing the Contour Closure

Abstract:

This paper puts forward a mathematical method for computing the closure extent of object contours—a specific instance of Gestalt law of closure. The method introduces the concept of virtual line to interpret the size of contour gaps vector points and measure the closure extent. Experimental results show that the computation results is consistent with the human perception interpretation in most cases.
