On the Convergence Properties of Contrastive Divergence
Contrastive Divergence (CD) is a popular method for estimating the parameters of Markov Random Fields (MRFs) by rapidly approximating an intractable term in the gradient of the lo...

Photometric stereo with coherent outlier handling and confidence estimation
In photometric stereo a robust method is required to deal with outliers, such as shadows and non-Lambertian reflections. In this paper we rely on a probabilistic imaging model tha...
