Figure-ground Segmentation

Figure-Ground Segmentation is a perceptual process in visual cognition that distinguishes a salient object (figure) from its surrounding background (ground) based on properties such as contrast, closure, and symmetry, thereby enabling the parsing of visual scenes into foreground and background regions.
