Stochastic relaxation, Gibbs distributions and the Bayesian restoration of images.
- IEEE Trans. Pattern Anal. Mach. Intell.
, 1984
"... Abstract-We make an analogy between images and statistical mechanics systems. Pixel gray levels and the presence and orientation of edges are viewed as states of atoms or molecules in a lattice-like physical system. The assignment of an energy function in the physical system determines its Gibbs di ..."

system isolates low energy states ("annealing"), or what is the same thing, the most probable states under the Gibbs distribution. The analogous operation under the posterior distribution yields the maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimate of the image given the degraded observations. The result
Markov Random Field Models in Computer Vision
, 1994
"... . A variety of computer vision problems can be optimally posed as Bayesian labeling in which the solution of a problem is defined 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 l ..."

Statistical shape influence in geodesic active contours
- In Proc. 2000 IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), Hilton Head, SC
, 2000
"... A novel method of incorporating shape information into the image segmentation process is presented. We introduce a representation for deformable shapes and define a probability distribution over the variances of a set of training shapes. The segmentation process embeds an initial curve as the zero l ..."

level set of a higher dimensional surface, and evolves the surface such that the zero level set converges on the boundary of the object to be segmented. At each step of the surface evolution, we estimate the maximum a posteriori (MAP) position and shape of the object in the image, based on the prior
One-shot learning of object categories
- IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE
, 2006
"... Learning visual models of object categories notoriously requires hundreds or thousands of training examples. We show that it is possible to learn much information about a category from just one, or a handful, of images. The key insight is that, rather than learning from scratch, one can take advant ..."

Bayesian approach to models learned from by Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) methods. We find that on a database of more than 100 categories, the Bayesian approach produces informative models when the number of training examples is too small for other methods to operate successfully.
Optimal and Sub-Optimal Maximum A Posteriori Algorithms Suitable for Turbo Decoding
- ETT
, 1997
"... For estimating the states or outputs of a Markov process, the symbol-by-symbol maximum a posteriori (MAP) algorithm is optimal. However, this algorithm, even in its recursive form, poses technical difficulties because of numerical representation problems, the necessity of non-linear functions and a ..."

Stereo matching using belief propagation
, 2003
"... In this paper, we formulate the stereo matching problem as a Markov network and solve it using Bayesian belief propagation. The stereo Markov network consists of three coupled Markov random fields that model the following: a smooth field for depth/disparity, a line process for depth discontinuity, ..."

, and a binary process for occlusion. After eliminating the line process and the binary process by introducing two robust functions, we apply the belief propagation algorithm to obtain the maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation in the Markov network. Other low-level visual cues (e.g., image segmentation
Maximum a Posteriori Transduction
- In Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Machine Learning and Cybernetics
, 2004
"... Transduction deals with the problem of estimating the values of a function at given points (called working samples) by a set of training samples. This paper proposes a maximum a posteriori (MAP) scheme for the transduction. The probability measure defined for the estimation is induced by the code le ..."

A Gaussian prior for smoothing maximum entropy models
, 1999
"... In certain contexts, maximum entropy (ME) modeling can be viewed as maximum likelihood train-ing for exponential models, and like other maximum likelihood methods is prone to overfitting of training data. Several smoothing methods for maximum entropy models have been proposed to address this problem ..."

find that an ME smoothing method proposed to us by Lafferty [1] performs as well as or better than all other algorithms under consideration. This general and efficient method involves using a Gaussian prior on the parame-ters of the model and selecting maximum a posteriori instead of maximum likelihood
