  2. Figure-ground (cartography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure-ground_(cartography)

    Figure-ground contrast, in the context of map design, is a property of a map in which the map image can be partitioned into a single feature or type of feature that is considered as an object of attention (the figure), with the remainder of the map being relegated to the background, outside the current focus of attention. [1]

    The Rubin vase illusion, where it is ambiguous which part is the figure and which the ground Shapes which can be read as a word once the viewer recognises them as being the isolated negative spaces of a word. Figure–ground organization is a type of perceptual grouping that is a vital necessity for recognizing objects through vision.

  4. Figure and ground - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure_and_ground

    Figure and ground (media), a concept developed by media theorist Marshall McLuhan; Figure–ground (perception), referring to humans' ability to separate foreground from background in visual images. Figure-ground perception is one of the main issues in gestalt psychology. Figure-ground in map design, the ability to easily discriminate the main ...

    What the book does prove is that in three-layered feed-forward perceptrons (with a so-called "hidden" or "intermediary" layer), it is not possible to compute some predicates unless at least one of the neurons in the first layer of neurons (the "intermediary" layer) is connected with a non-null weight to each and every input (Theorem 3.1.1 ...

    Figure–ground (perception), a humans' ability to separate foreground from background in visual images; Foreground-background, a scheduling algorithm that is used to control execution of multiple processes on a single processor

  7. Figure-ground diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure-ground_diagram

    The figure-ground theory of urban design and urban morphology is based upon the use of figure ground studies. It relates the amount of "figure" to the amount of "ground" in a figure-ground diagram, and approaches urban design as a manipulation of that relationship, as well as being a manipulation of the geometric shapes within the diagram.

  8. Form perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_perception

    Form perception is the recognition of visual elements of objects, specifically those to do with shapes, patterns and previously identified important characteristics. An object is perceived by the retina as a two-dimensional image, [1] but the image can vary for the same object in terms of the context with which it is viewed, the apparent size of the object, the angle from which it is viewed ...

  9. Cartographic design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartographic_design

    Figure-ground is the ease with which each individual symbol or feature (the figure) can be mentally isolated from the rest of the map (the ground). The rules for establishing figure-ground are largely drawn from the gestalt principle of Prägnanz .
