论文摘要
简单原则指出，人类视觉系统更喜欢最简单的解释。但是，传统的编码模型无法解决全球最低原则和局部最低原则的预测之间的不相容性。通过定量评估所有可能的视觉解释的总信息内容，我们表明，感知到的模式始终是最简单的局部完成以及全球最少的总体惊理，从而解决了这种明显的难题。我们提出的框架包括（1）视觉轮廓，（2）视觉轮廓方向的信息内容，以及（3）von Mises的分布，用于人类视觉期望。我们用它来解释了明显的视觉错觉的感知，例如Kanizsa Triangle，Ehrenstein Cross和Rubin的花瓶。这为著名的简单原则提供了新的见解，可以作为对虚幻界限的感知和感知分组的双重稳定性的基本解释。
The simplicity principle states that the human visual system prefers the simplest interpretation. However, conventional coding models could not resolve the incompatibility between predictions from the global minimum principle and the local minimum principle. By quantitatively evaluating the total information content of all possible visual interpretations, we show that the perceived pattern is always the one with the simplest local completion as well as the least total surprisal globally, thus solving this apparent conundrum. Our proposed framework consist of (1) the information content of visual contours, (2) direction of visual contour, and (3) the von Mises distribution governing human visual expectation. We used it to explain the perception of prominent visual illusions such as Kanizsa triangle, Ehrenstein cross, and Rubin's vase. This provides new insight into the celebrated simplicity principle and could serve as a fundamental explanation of the perception of illusory boundaries and the bi-stability of perceptual grouping.
