Bayesian Face Recognition Based on Markov Random Field Modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a Bayesian method for face recognition is proposed based on Markov Random Fields (MRF) modeling. Constraints on image features as well as contextual relationships between them are explored and encoded into a cost function derived based on a statistical model of MRF. Gabor wavelet coefficients are used as the base features, and relationships between Gabor features at different pixel locations are used to provide higher order contextual constraints. The posterior probability of matching configuration is derived based on MRF modeling. Local search and discriminate analysis are used to evaluate local matches, and a contextual constraint is applied to evaluate mutual matches between local matches. The proposed MRF method provides a new perspective for modeling the face recognition problem. Experiments demonstrate promising results.

Markov Random Field Models in Computer Vision
A variety of computer vision problems can be optimally posed as Bayesian labeling in which the solution of a problem is de-ned as the maximum a posteriori (MAP) probability estimate of the true labeling. The posterior probability is usually derived from a prior model and a likelihood model. The latter relates to how data is observed and is problem domain dependent. The former depends on how var...
متن کاملA Markov random field-regulated Pitman-Yor process prior for spatially constrained data clustering
In this work, we propose a Markov random field-regulated Pitman–Yor process (MRF-PYP) prior for nonparametric clustering of data with spatial interdependencies. The MRF-PYP is constructed by imposing a Pitman–Yor process over the distribution of the latent variables that allocate data points to clusters (model states), the discount hyperparameter of which is regulated by an additionally postula...
متن کاملGraphical models for social behavior modeling in face-to face interaction
The goal of this paper is to model the coverbal behavior of a subject involved in face-to-face social interactions. For this end, we present a multimodal behavioral model based on a Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN). The model was inferred from multimodal data of interacting dyads in a specific scenario designed to foster mutual attention and multimodal deixis of objects and places in a collaborat...

متن کاملA comparison of Neural and Graphical Models for Syntactic and Structural Pattern Recognition
Recent developments in the theory and uses of Bayesian Networks in pattern recognition and image understanding (PRIU) raise questions about the relationships between Bayesian compared to non-Bayesian approaches. In this paper we compare Neural-based verses Bayesian-based methods for PRIU. We conclude with the view that a singular PRIU architecture that models “from pixels to predicates” in one ...
