Markov Random Fields for Vision and Image Processing (The MIT Press) by Andrew Blake (PDF)

Description

State-of-the-art research on MRFs, successful MRF applications, and advanced topics for future study.This volume demonstrates the power of the Markov random field (MRF) in vision, treating the MRF both as a tool for modeling image data and, utilizing recently developed algorithms, as a means of making inferences about images. These inferences concern underlying image and scene structure as well as solutions to such problems as image reconstruction, image segmentation, 3D vision, and object labeling. It offers key findings and state-of-the-art research on both algorithms and applications.After an introduction to the fundamental concepts used in MRFs, the book reviews some of the main algorithms for performing inference with MRFs; presents successful applications of MRFs, including segmentation, super-resolution, and image restoration, along with a comparison of various optimization methods; discusses advanced algorithmic topics; addresses limitations of the strong locality assumptions in the MRFs discussed in earlier chapters; and showcases applications that use MRFs in more complex ways, as components in bigger systems or with multiterm energy functions. The book will be an essential guide to current research on these powerful mathematical tools.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is just a collection of papers essentially. If you are buying this you should:1. Want to read a specific “paper” in this bookor2. Have already checked out freely available code online, and want a cohesive set of papers that are connected to one anotheror3. Really be writing some large paper where you need citationsI was not moved to a great extent by an of the chapters. I would have just read some more publicly available papers and saved my money, if I could go back in time.
