Hello to everyone !
A week ago, I asked for literature on the subject of object-recognition
in the human visual system. For everyone interested in this subject I
compiled the answers I received. Here is the list:

Articles by Grossberg ... :
----------------------------
- Stephen Grossberg & Ennio Mingolla NEURAL DYNAMICS OF PERCEPTUAL
GROUPING: TEXTURES, BOUNDARIES AND EMERGENT SEGMENTATIONS Perception &
Psychophysics (1985), 38 (2), 141-171. This work presents the BCS /
FCS model with detailed psychophysical motivation for the model
components and computer simulation of the BCS.
- Stephen Grossberg & Ennio Mingolla NEURAL DYNAMICS OF SURFACE
PERCEPTION: BOUNDARY WEBS, ILLUMINANTS, AND SHAPE-FROM-SHADING.
Computer Vision, Graphics and Image Processing (1987) 37, 116-165.
This model extends the BCS to explore its response to gradients of
illumination. It is mentioned here because of an elegant modification
of the second competitive stage that was utilized in our simulations.
- Stephen Grossberg & Dejan Todorovic NEURAL DYNAMICS OF 1-D AND 2-D
BRIGHTNESS PERCEPTION Perception and Psychophysics (1988) 43, 241-277.
A beautifully lucid summary of BCS / FCS modules with 1-D and 2-D
computer simulations with excellent graphics reproducing several
brightness perception illusions. This algorithm dispenses with
boundary completion, but in return it simulates the FCS operation.
Articles by Steve Lehar (slehar at park.bu.edu):

PROGRESS IN NEURAL NETWORKS volume 3 (Ed. by Ablex Publishing Corp.)
In print.
- Lehar S., Worth A. MULTIPLE RESONANT BOUNDARY CONTOUR SYSTEM.
Proceedings of the SPIE, Vol. 1469 (Applications of Artificial Neural
Networks Conference) April 1991.

University, Center for Adaptive Systems technical report #
CAS/CNS-TR-91-017
S. Lehar also accepted to mail an article describing the work of Grossberg
and Mingolla and his own extensions to the model to everyone interested.
