Multi-label MRF Optimization via a Least Squares s - t Cut

نویسنده

چکیده

We approximate the k-label Markov random field optimization by a single binary (s−t) graph cut. Each vertex in the original graph is replaced by only ceil(log2(k)) new vertices and the new edge weights are obtained via a novel least squares solution approximating the original data and label interaction penalties. The s− t cut produces a binary “Gray” encoding that is unambiguously decoded into any of the original k labels. We analyze the properties of the approximation and present quantitative and qualitative image segmentation results, one of the several computer vision applications of multi label-MRF optimization.

Multi-Label MRF Optimization via Least Squares s-t Cuts

There are many applications of graph cuts in computer vision, e.g. segmentation. We present a novel method to reformulate the NP-hard, k-way graph partitioning problem as an approximate minimal s− t graph cut problem, for which a globally optimal solution is found in polynomial time. Each non-terminal vertex in the original graph is replaced by a set of ceil(log2(k)) new vertices. The original ...

Normalized Cut Meets MRF

We propose a new segmentation or clustering model that combines Markov Random Field (MRF) and Normalized Cut (NC) objectives. Both NC and MRF models are widely used in machine learning and computer vision, but they were not combined before due to significant differences in the corresponding optimization, e.g. spectral relaxation and combinatorial max-flow techniques. On the one hand, we show th...

Computationally Efficient Multi-Label Classification by Least-Squares Probabilistic Classifiers

Multi-label classification allows a sample to belong to multiple classes simultaneously, which is often the case in real-world applications such as text categorization and image annotation. In multi-label scenarios, taking into account correlations among multiple labels can boost the classification accuracy. However, this makes classifier training more challenging because handling multiple labe...

Multi-label Classification Using Hypergraph Orthonormalized Partial Least Squares

In many real-world applications, humangenerated data like images are often associated with several semantic topics simultaneously, called multi-label data, which poses a great challenge for classification in such scenarios. Since the topics are always not independent, it is very useful to respect the correlations among different topics for performing better classification on multi-label data. H...

Dictionary Replacement for Single Image Restoration of 3D Scenes

In this paper, we address the problem of jointly estimating the latent image and the depth/blur map from a single space-variantly blurred image using dictionary replacement. While most of the dictionary-based deblurring methods consider planar scenes with spaceinvariant blur, we handle 3D scenes with spacevariant blur caused by either camera motion or optical defocus. For a given blurred image,...
