Continuous Markov Random Field Optimization using Fusion Move Driven Markov Chain Monte Carlo Technique
Many vision applications have been formulated as Markov Random Field (MRF) problems. Although many of them are discrete labeling problems, continuous formulation often achieves gre...

A Markov Random Field Model for Extracting Near-Circular Shapes
We propose a binary Markov Random Field (MRF) model that assigns high probability to regions in the image domain consisting of an unknown number of circles of a given radius. We...
