Abstract – In this paper, a variational message passing framework is proposed for Markov random fields. Analogous to the traditional belief propagation algorithm, variational mes...
Abstract –In this paper, a variational message passing framework is proposed for Markov random fields, which is computationally more efficient and admits wider applicability comp...
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...

Many feature detection algorithms rely on the choice of scale. In this paper, we complement standard scaleselection algorithms with spatial regularization. To this end, we formula...
Monte Carlo methods and their subsequent simulated annealing are able to minimize general energy functions. However, the slow convergence of simulated annealing compared with more ...
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...
Abstract. This paper presents an optimisation technique to select automatically a set of control parameters for a Markov Random Field applied to stereo matching. The method is base...

In many application domains there is a large amount of unlabeled data but only a very limited amount of labeled training data. One general approach that has been explored for util...

This paper presents a new kernel method for appearance-based object recognition, highly robust to noise and occlusion. It consists of a fully connected Markov Random Field that in...
