A Hybrid Face Recognition Method using Markov Random Fields
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 ...

Cross Entropy: A New Solver for Markov Random Field Modeling and Applications to Medical Image Segmentation
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...
