Bayesian Methods in Graphics
نویسنده
چکیده
Within this talk I shall describe some of the work I have been involved with at Microsoft Research Cambridge on Bayesian methods. In particular I will cover the application of Bayesian methods to certain problems relating to the field of Computer Graphics. Bayesian methods provide a rational way of making inference about problems; including learning parameters that are so often set by hand, and the incorporation of prior knowledge. The particular problems I shall address are (a) image cut out, (b) new view synthesis, (c) motion capture of articulated objects (e.g. hands) for driving avatars, (d) general 3D reconstruction. In all of these problems I hope to demonstrate that the Bayesian approach leads to new insights and methodologies that improve on existing methods.

FamSeq: A Variant Calling Program for Family-Based Sequencing Data Using Graphics Processing Units
Various algorithms have been developed for variant calling using next-generation sequencing data, and various methods have been applied to reduce the associated false positive and false negative rates. Few variant calling programs, however, utilize the pedigree information when the family-based sequencing data are available. Here, we present a program, FamSeq, which reduces both false positive ...
متن کاملApproximate Bayesian Image Interpretation using Generative Probabilistic Graphics Programs
The idea of computer vision as the Bayesian inverse problem to computer graphics has a long history and an appealing elegance, but it has proved difficult to directly implement. Instead, most vision tasks are approached via complex bottom-up processing pipelines. Here we show that it is possible to write short, simple probabilistic graphics programs that define flexible generative models and to...
متن کاملBayesian Quadrature for Multiple Related Integrals
Bayesian probabilistic numerical methods are a set of tools providing posterior distributions on the output of numerical methods. The use of these methods is usually motivated by the fact that they can represent our uncertainty due to incomplete/finite information about the continuous mathematical problem being approximated. In this paper, we demonstrate that this paradigm can provide additiona...
متن کاملParallel Inference for Latent Dirichlet Allocation on Graphics Processing Units
The recent emergence of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) as general-purpose parallel computing devices provides us with new opportunities to develop scalable learning methods for massive data. In this work, we consider the problem of parallelizing two inference methods on GPUs for latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) models, collapsed Gibbs sampling (CGS) and collapsed variational Bayesian (CVB). ...
متن کاملUltra-Fast Image Reconstruction of Tomosynthesis Mammography Using GPU
Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is a technology that creates three dimensional (3D) images of breast tissue. Tomosynthesis mammography detects lesions that are not detectable with other imaging systems. If image reconstruction time is in the order of seconds, we can use Tomosynthesis systems to perform Tomosynthesis-guided Interventional procedures. This research has been designed to study u...
