Abstract

Shape emergence is a recognized visual phenomenon experienced by visually all humans. It involves perception of emergent shapes that only implicitly exist in a primary shape (an already interpreted shape), and do not directly correspond to the entities or subshapes used to construct the primary shape. This paper presents an evolutionary approach to shape emergence. Its basic idea is to maintain a population of shapes that aggregate with each other to produce their offspring shapes. The shape population evolves from one generation to another as new shapes are produced and old shapes are eliminated. The evolution is governed by a fitness function and a set of local aggregating rules. Since offspring shapes are always larger in size than their parent shapes, the evolution finally stops with a quiescent population in which no shape can produce any further offspring because of the limitation of the global boundary of the primary shape. The last several generations of shapes in the evolving process provide a vocabulary for emergent interpretations of the primary shape.<>

一种进化的方法来塑造出现

形状涌现是视觉上所有人类都经历过的一种公认的视觉现象。它涉及到对突现形状的感知，这些形状只隐含地存在于一个基本形状中(一个已经被解释过的形状)，并不直接对应于用于构建基本形状的实体或子形状。本文提出了一种形状涌现的进化方法。它的基本思想是保持一个形状的种群，这些形状彼此聚集在一起，产生它们的后代形状。随着新形状的产生和旧形状的淘汰，形状种群从一代进化到另一代。进化由适应度函数和一组局部聚合规则控制。由于后代形状总是比它们的亲代形状大，进化最终以一个静止的种群停止，在这个种群中，由于原始形状的全局边界的限制，任何形状都不能产生任何进一步的后代。在演变过程中的最后几代形状为原始形状的紧急解释提供了词汇表。
