    • What Is Decreased by the Max-sum Arc Consistency Algorithm? 

      Autor: Werner, Tomáš
      (ACM, 2007)
      Inference tasks in Markov random fields (MRFs) are closely related to the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) and its soft generalizations. In particular, MAP inference in MRF is equivalent to the weighted (maxsum) CSP. ...

      Autor: Werner, Tomáš; Shekhovtsov, Alexander
      (Verlag der Technischen Universität Graz, 2007-02)
      Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP), including its soft modifications, is ubiquitous in artificial intelligence and related fields. In computer vision and pattern recognition, the crisp CSP is more known as the consistent ...
    • Wald’s Sequential Analysis for Time-constrained Vision Problems 

      Autor: Matas, Jiří; Šochman, Jan
      (IEEE, 2007-04)
      In detection and matching problems in computer vision, both classification errors and time to decision characterize the quality of an algorithmic solution. We show how to formalize such problems in the framework of sequential ...
    • Adaptive Parameter Optimization for Real-time Tracking 

      Autor: Zimmermann, Karel; Svoboda, Tomáš; Matas, Jiří
      (IEEE, 2007-10)
      Adaptation of a tracking procedure combined in a common way with a Kalman filter is formulated as an constrained optimization problem, where a trade-off between precision and loss-of-lock probability is explicitly taken ...

      Autor: Mikolajczyk, Krystian; Matas, Jiří
      (IEEE, 2007-10)
      In this paper we propose to transform an image descriptor so that nearest neighbor (NN) search for correspondences becomes the optimal matching strategy under the assumption that inter-image deviations of corresponding ...

      Autor: Perd’och, Michal; Matas, Jiří; Obdržálek, Štěpán
      (IEEE, 2007-10)
      We propose a new affine-covariant feature, the stable affine frame (SAF). SAFs lie on the boundary of extremal regions, i.e. on isophotes. Instead of requiring the whole isophote to be stable with respect to intensity ...
