Inference in Markov Random Fields

We study MRFs of different kinds. Espesially we are interested in the inference problem in MRFs with high-order potentials and global constraints. Here is an incomplete list of what we’ve tried so far:


In this work we are investigating decomposition methods that do not decompose the graph structure of the initial problem but e.g. use subproblems that relate to labels. One advantage of these methods is the potential ability to take into account some types of high-order cliques and some global constraints on the solution.

In this work we focused on an energy that penalized the number of different labels actually used in the current labeling of MRF. We found some interesting theoretical intepretations for the energy, developed an algorithm, and tried it for geometric multi-model fitting (motion segmentation, homography estimation), image segmentation and compression.
