Abstract The perceptual completion problem of 3D scene within the framework of stereovision is discussed in this paper. An electrostatic completing field based model is presented, which refers to the laws of Gestalt psychology, the rules of visual organization and the properties of electrostatic field. In the model, stimuli are defined and arranged on the breakpoints of fragments to produce the completing field. Then the completing field matches the breakpoints naturally and connects them with proper smooth curves. The completions of occluded boundaries and illusory contours agree with the human perception. The completion results can be used for reconstructing 3D information of the scene and segmenting the scene into a set of surfaces correctly from stereo images.
