Deep Markov Random Field for Image Modeling
Markov Random Fields (MRFs), a formulation widely used in generative image
modeling, have long been plagued by the lack of expressive power. This issue is
primarily due to the fact that conventional MRFs formulations tend to use
simplistic factors to capture local patterns. In this paper, we move beyond
such limitations, and propose a novel MRF model that uses fully-connected
neurons to express the complex interactions among pixels. Through theoretical
analysis, we reveal an inherent connection between this model and recurrent
neural networks, and thereon derive an approximated feed-forward network that
couples multiple RNNs along opposite directions. This formulation combines the
expressive power of deep neural networks and the cyclic dependency structure of
MRF in a unified model, bringing the modeling capability to a new level. The
feed-forward approximation also allows it to be efficiently learned from data.
Experimental results on a variety of low-level vision tasks show notable
improvement over state-of-the-arts.Comment: Accepted at ECCV 201
A graph-based mathematical morphology reader
This survey paper aims at providing a "literary" anthology of mathematical
morphology on graphs. It describes in the English language many ideas stemming
from a large number of different papers, hence providing a unified view of an
active and diverse field of research
Deep Video Color Propagation
Traditional approaches for color propagation in videos rely on some form of
matching between consecutive video frames. Using appearance descriptors, colors
are then propagated both spatially and temporally. These methods, however, are
computationally expensive and do not take advantage of semantic information of
the scene. In this work we propose a deep learning framework for color
propagation that combines a local strategy, to propagate colors frame-by-frame
ensuring temporal stability, and a global strategy, using semantics for color
propagation within a longer range. Our evaluation shows the superiority of our
strategy over existing video and image color propagation methods as well as
neural photo-realistic style transfer approaches.Comment: BMVC 201
