Abstract. Graphical models with higher order factors are an important tool for pattern recognition that has recently attracted considerable attention. Inference based on such model...
We present a model of a `gas of circles', the ensemble of regions in the image domain consisting of an unknown number of circles with approximately fixed radius and short ran...

The use of higher-order local autocorrelations as features for pattern recognition has been acknowledged since many years, but their applicability was restricted to relatively low...
Markov Random Fields are widely used in many image processing applications. Recently the shortcomings of some of the simpler forms of these models have become apparent, and models ...
Belief propagation (BP) has become widely used for low-level vision problems and various inference techniques have been proposed for loopy graphs. These methods typically rely on a...
