Abstract
This paper proposes a neural network model for extracting optical illusions produced by a sequence of discontinuous dot stimuli. The proposed model is based on visual cell's characters founded by visual information processing path. This study approaches on the basis of physiological observation of the perceptual phenomena that some simple ways of discrete dots are perceived as a continuous virtual contour rather than as separate dots. This paper presents the implementation of the optical illusions from discrete dot stimuli that are composed of virtual polygons from 6 to 10 dots. This experimental data are similar to those of Smith & Vos's physiological experiments. The proposed model shows that it can extract continuous illusion contours from discrete dot stimuli successfully.
