We propose a hybrid face recognition method that combines holistic and feature analysis-based approaches using a Markov random field (MRF) model. The face images are divided into ...
This paper presents an algorithm for measuring hair and face appearance in 2D images. Our approach starts by using learned mixture models of color and location information to sugg...

This paper introduces a novel solver, namely cross entropy (CE), into the MRF theory for medical image segmentation. The solver, which is based on the theory of rare event simulati...
Abstract –In this paper, a variational message passing framework is proposed for Markov random fields, which is computationally more efficient and admits wider applicability comp...
