Abstract--We apply Guo and Wang's relaxed belief propagation (BP) method to the estimation of a random vector from linear measurements followed by a componentwise probabilisti...
Resolving local ambiguities is an important issue for shape from shading (SFS). Pixel ambiguities of SFS can be eliminated by propagation approaches. However, patch ambiguities st...
A soft global constraint SOFTPREC has been proposed recently for solving optimisation problems involving precedence relations. In this paper we present new pruning rules for this g...

Abstract. We present an algorithmic framework for integrating solution methods that is based on search, inference, and relaxation and their interactions. We show that the following...
A wide range of counting and occurrence constraints can be specified with just two global primitives: the Range constraint, which computes the range of values used by a sequence of...
