Depth Estimation Through a Generative Model of Light Field Synthesis
Light field photography captures rich structural information that may
facilitate a number of traditional image processing and computer vision tasks.
A crucial ingredient in such endeavors is accurate depth recovery. We present a
novel framework that allows the recovery of a high quality continuous depth map
from light field data. To this end we propose a generative model of a light
field that is fully parametrized by its corresponding depth map. The model
allows for the integration of powerful regularization techniques such as a
non-local means prior, facilitating accurate depth map estimation.Comment: German Conference on Pattern Recognition (GCPR) 201
Relaxation-Based Coarsening for Multilevel Hypergraph Partitioning
Multilevel partitioning methods that are inspired by principles of
multiscaling are the most powerful practical hypergraph partitioning solvers.
Hypergraph partitioning has many applications in disciplines ranging from
scientific computing to data science. In this paper we introduce the concept of
algebraic distance on hypergraphs and demonstrate its use as an algorithmic
component in the coarsening stage of multilevel hypergraph partitioning
solvers. The algebraic distance is a vertex distance measure that extends
hyperedge weights for capturing the local connectivity of vertices which is
critical for hypergraph coarsening schemes. The practical effectiveness of the
proposed measure and corresponding coarsening scheme is demonstrated through
extensive computational experiments on a diverse set of problems. Finally, we
propose a benchmark of hypergraph partitioning problems to compare the quality
of other solvers
