1 Introduction to Markov Random Fields
نویسنده
چکیده
This book sets out to demonstrate the power of the Markov random field (MRF) in vision. It treats the MRF both as a tool for modeling image data and, coupled with a set of recently developed algorithms, as a means of making inferences about images. The inferences concern underlying image and scene structure to solve problems such as image reconstruction, image segmentation, 3D vision, and object labeling. This chapter is designed to present some of the main concepts used in MRFs, both as a taster and as a gateway to the more detailed chapters that follow, as well as a stand-alone introduction to MRFs. The unifying ideas in using MRFs for vision are the following:

Telescoping Recursive Representations and Estimation of Gauss-Markov Random Fields
We present telescoping recursive representations for both continuous and discrete indexed noncausal Gauss-Markov random fields. Our recursions start at the boundary (for example, a hypersurface in R, d ≥ 1) and telescope inwards. Under appropriate conditions, the recursions for the random field are differential/difference representations driven by white noise, for which we can use standard recu...

متن کاملGuest Editors' Introduction to the Special Section on Probabilistic Graphical Models
An exciting development over the last decade has been the gradually widespread adoption of probabilistic graphical models (PGMs) in many areas of computer vision and pattern recognition. Representing an integration of graph and probability theories, a number of families of graphical models have been studied in the statistics and machine learning literatures. Examples of directed graphical model...
متن کاملHeterogeneous Web Data Extraction Algorithm Based On Modified Hidden Conditional Random Fields
As it is of great importance to extract useful information from heterogeneous Web data, in this paper, we propose a novel heterogeneous Web data extraction algorithm using a modified hidden conditional random fields model. Considering the traditional linear chain based conditional random fields can not effectively solve the problem of complex and heterogeneous Web data extraction, we modify the...
متن کاملInformation-theoretic characterizations of conditional mutual independence and Markov random fields
We take the point of view that a Markov random field is a collection of so-called full conditional mutual independencies. Using the theory of -Measure, we have obtained a number of fundamental characterizations related to conditional mutual independence and Markov random fields. We show that many aspects of conditional mutual independence and Markov random fields have very simple set-theoretic ...
