Loopy and generalized belief propagation are popular algorithms for approximate inference in Markov random fields and Bayesian networks. Fixed points of these algorithms have been...
Optical flow estimation is one of the main subjects in computer vision. Many methods developed to compute the motion fields are built using standard heuristic formulation. In this...
Belief propagation over pairwise connected Markov Random Fields has become a widely used approach, and has been successfully applied to several important computer vision problems....
We introduce a new technique that can reduce any
higher-order Markov random field with binary labels into
a first-order one that has the same minima as the original.
Moreover, w...
Many problems in computer vision can be modeled using
conditional Markov random fields (CRF). Since finding
the maximum a posteriori (MAP) solution in such models
is NP-hard, mu...
