Fast Primal Dual Strategies for Optimization of Markov Random Fields

Participant : Nikos Komodakis [Correspondant] .

discrete optimization, Markov random field, duality, graph cuts, FastPD is an optimization platform in C++ for the computer vision and medical imaging community (publicly available at http://www.csd.uoc.gr/~komod/FastPD/ ) developed mainly at Ecole Centrale and University of Crete. This is the most efficient publicly available platform in terms of a compromise of computational efficiency and ability to converge to a good minimum for the optimization of generic MRFs. The platform is used from approximately 1,500 users worldwide.
