Many problems in computer vision can be modeled using
conditional Markov random fields (CRF). Since finding
the maximum a posteriori (MAP) solution in such models
is NP-hard, mu...

This paper presents a nonparametric approach to labeling
of local image regions that is inspired by recent developments
in information-theoretic denoising. The chief novelty
of ...
We introduce a new technique that can reduce any
higher-order Markov random field with binary labels into
a first-order one that has the same minima as the original.
Moreover, w...
This paper is focused on the Co-segmentation problem
[1] – where the objective is to segment a similar object from
a pair of images. The background in the two images may be
ar...
In recent years the Markov Random Field (MRF) has
become the de facto probabilistic model for low-level vision
applications. However, in a maximum a posteriori
(MAP) framework, ...
