The Geometry of the Occluding Contour and Its Effect on Motion Interpretation

this paper seem to be. Our work on amodal completion (McDermott et al., 2001), for instance, demonstrates dependencies on the closure of the occluding contour, and on whether the occluding contour is the border of a solid surface, which implicate processes that analyze a much larger region of the image. Nonetheless, our present results suggest that the effects of occluding contour geometry on motion interpretation depend most strongly on what happens within a semilocal region surrounding each moving terminato
