    Area of Science:

    • Perceptual psychology
    • Computational geometry
    • Image analysis

    Background:

    • Shape is a key feature defining spatial relations between figures and backgrounds.
    • Understanding figure-ground relationships is crucial in visual perception.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and quantify the
    • degree of isolation
    • of a figure from its surrounding ground.
    • To develop a mathematical model for measuring shape-based spatial relations.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a model where figure parts contribute inversely to their distance from the nucleus.
    • Applied a convolution integral approach using the figure's characteristic function.
    • Defined a measure for the
    • degree of isolation
    • based on the convolution integral and figure area.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed mathematical model successfully quantifies the
    • degree of isolation
    • .

    Conclusions:

    • Normal individuals can perceive subtle differences in shape parameters.
    • Human perception of shape isolation aligns with the developed theoretical model.
