Computing the shapes of object boundaries from fragmentary image contours poses a formidable problem for the visual system. We investigated the extrapolation of contour shape by human vision. Measurements of extrapolation position and orientation were taken at six distances from the point of occlusion, thereby yielding a detailed representation of the extrapolated contours. Analyses of these measurements revealed that: (i) extrapolation curvature increases linearly with the curvature of the indu ...[more]
