We show that early vision can use monocular cues to rapidly complete partially-occluded objects. Visual search for easily-detected fragments becomes difficult when the completed shape is similar to others in the display; conversely, search for fragments that are difficult to detect becomes easy when the completed shape is distinctive. Results indicate that completion occurs via the occlusion-triggered removal of occlusion edges and linking of associated regions. We fail to find evidence for a visible filling-in of contours or surfaces, but do find evidence for a 'functional' filling-in that prevents the constituent fragments from being rapidly accessed. As such, it is only the completed structures-and not the fragments themselves-that serve as the basis for rapid recognition. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
