Abstract: The history of Perceptual Organization has been reviewed. And the principle, process, problems to be solved and classification of the Perceptual Organization have been summarized at large. Then some grouping machine technology in recent years has been introduced. And the application of Perceptual Organization in target recognition has been described in this paper. Finally the paper prospected the key points and the application development tendency of Perceptual Organization.
