Visual Grouping

Visual grouping is a perceptual process where our brain organizes individual visual elements into meaningful clusters or objects. This helps us interpret scenes efficiently by recognizing patterns, shapes, or surfaces as belonging together, even if they are separate pieces. Factors like proximity, similarity, continuity, and common movement influence this grouping. Essentially, our visual system automatically sorts components into coherent units, allowing us to perceive a structured and understandable world from a complex array of visual information.
