The phenomenon of visual curve completion, where the visual system completes the missing contours of an occluded object,
is a major problem in computer vision and vision research.
I will first present some of the state-of-the-art algorithms for curve completion, as well as relevant perceptual and biological insights.
Then I will discuss our own approach for curve completion, which is based on the abstraction of the visual cortex with modern differential geometry tools.
In this work we present formal theoretical analysis and numerical solution methods, and we show results on natural images.
