We propose a recursive Bayesian model for the delineation of coronary arteries from 3D CT angiograms (cardiac CTA) and discuss the use of discrete minimal path techniques as an eļ¬...

The quantum analog of a constraint satisfaction problem is a sum of local Hamiltonians - each (term of the) Hamiltonian specifies a local constraint whose violation contributes to...

Image matting is the problem of determining for each pixel in an image whether it is foreground, background, or the mixing parameter, ā€¯alphaā€¯, for those pixels that are a mixt...
In this paper, we present a novel approach to robust skeleton extraction. We use undirected graphs to model connectivity of the skeleton points. The graph topology remains unchang...
We present a combinatorial characterization of the Bethe entropy function of a factor graph, such a characterization being in contrast to the original, analytical, definition of th...
