While the majority of competitive image segmentation methods are based on energy minimization, only few allow to efficiently determine globally optimal solutions. A graphtheoretic...
Abstract. We consider the problem of computing a minimum cycle basis in a directed graph G with m arcs and n vertices. The arcs of G have non-negative weights assigned to them. We ...
We describe a new variational lower-bound on the minimum energy configuration of a planar binary Markov Random Field (MRF). Our method is based on adding auxiliary nodes to every...

Abstract. In this paper we consider the problem of computing a minimum cycle basis in a graph G with m edges and n vertices. The edges of G have non-negative weights on them. The p...

We describe the first algorithms to compute minimum cuts in surface-embedded graphs in near-linear time. Given an undirected graph embedded on an orientable surface of genus g, w...
