The detection and pose estimation of people in images and video is made challenging by the variability of human appearance, the complexity of natural scenes, and the high dimensio...

Belief propagation (BP) has become widely used for low-level vision problems and various inference techniques have been proposed for loopy graphs. These methods typically rely on a...

In an important recent paper, Yedidia, Freeman, and Weiss [11] showed that there is a close connection between the belief propagation algorithm for probabilistic inference and the...

Nearly every structured prediction problem in computer vision requires approximate inference due to large and complex dependencies among output labels. While graphical models prov...
Recent work (Yedidia, Freeman, Weiss [22]) has shown that stable points of belief propagation (BP) algorithms [12] for graphs with loops correspond to extrema of the Bethe free ene...
