Grouping puts figure-ground assignment in context by constraining propagation of edge assignment (2010)
Journal Article
Brooks. (2010). Grouping puts figure-ground assignment in context by constraining propagation of edge assignment. Attention, Perception, and Psychophysics, 1431- 1431. https://doi.org/10.3758/APP.72.5.1431

Figure-ground organization involves the assignment of edges to a figural shape on one or the other side of each dividing edge. Established visual cues for edge assignment primarily concern relatively local rather than contextual factors. In the prese...

Edge-Region Grouping in Figure-Ground Organization and Depth Perception (2008)
Journal Article
(2008). Edge-Region Grouping in Figure-Ground Organization and Depth Perception. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1353 -1371. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0012729

Edge-region grouping (ERG) is proposed as a unifying and previously unrecognized class of relational information that influences figure-ground organization and perceived depth across an edge. ERG occurs when the edge between two regions is differenti... Read More about Edge-Region Grouping in Figure-Ground Organization and Depth Perception.
