Madhava Krishna1,2 1Robotics Research Center, KCIS, 2IIIT Hyderabad, 3Mila - Quebec AI Institute, Montreal, 4Université de Montréal Fig. 1: Amodal layout estimation is the task of estimating a semantic occupancy map in bird’s eye view, given a monocular image or video. The term amodal implies that we estimate occupancy and semantic labels even for parts of the world that are occluded in image space. In this work, we introduce AutoLay, a new dataset and benchmark for this task. AutoLay provides annotations in 3D, in bird’s eye view, and in image space. A sample annotated sequence (from the KITTI dataset [1]) is shown below. We provide high quality labels for sidewalks, vehicles, crosswalks, and lanes. We evaluate several approaches on sequences from the KITTI [1] and Argoverse [2] datasets. Abstract— Given an image or a video captured from a in [3]).

  • Visual Perception Glossary
    Visual Perception Glossary Amodal perception The part of an object that is not visible because occlu- ded can be amodally perceived. Amodal perception is different and one step removed from modal percepti- on of real or illusory contours. Apparent motion When an object is presented at two different locati- ons after a brief time interval observers perceive mo- tion. The fi rst empirical investigation was carried out by Sigmund Exner . His aim, as well as the subsequent work by Max Wertheimer , was in establishing that motion was a basic sensation. Attention Refers to the selective processing of some aspect of information, while ignoring other information. The sudden onset of a stimulus can capture attention, but people can also exert some control on where they di- rect their attention. Bi-stable stimulus A particular stimulus that can produce two percepts over time, even though it is unchanged as a stimulus. An example is the Necker cube . Brightness Brightness refers to perception of how much light is coming from a given surface or object. A brighter objects refl ects more light than a less bright object. However perception of brightness is not fully deter- mined by luminance (see Illusory contours). 192 Visual Perception Glossary Cerebral lobe The cerebral cortex of the human brain is divided into four main lobes. Frontal (at the front), occipital (at the back), temporal (on the sides) and parietal (at the top). Consciousness Sorry this is too hard, your guess is as good as mine. Cortex The cortex is the outer layer of the brain . In most mammals the cortex is folded and this allows the surface to have a greater area given in the confi ned space available inside the skull.

  • Amodal Completion, Perception and Visual Imagery
    CLOTILDE CALABI Università degli Studi di Milano [email protected] Amodal Completion, Perception and Visual Imagery abstract Amodal completion typically occurs when we look at an object that is partially behind another object. Theorists often say that in such cases we are aware not only of the visible parts, but also, in some sense, of the occluded parts, because otherwise we could not have a perceptual experience of the object as continuing behind its occluder. Since no sense modality carries information about the occluded parts, this information is provided by other means. Amodal completion raises two questions. First, what is the mechanism involved? Second, what kind of experience do we have of the occluded parts? According to Nanay, the so-called Imagery Theory answers both questions. For this theory, information about the occluded parts is the product of a low level, vision specific, neural mechanism that takes place in the early vision processing areas of the brain. This mechanism provides a representation of the occluded parts and, as a result, the observer enjoys a quasi-sensory or quasi-perceptual conscious experience that is phenomenally similar to seeing those parts (as purportedly Perky has proved). In this paper I criticize Nanay’s answer to the second question. keywords Occlusion, amodal completion, visualization, mental imagery AmODAL COmplETION, PErcEPTION AND ViSUAL IMAGEry CLOTILDE CALABI Università degli Studi di Milano 1.
