Frozen-State Hierarchical Annealing
(University of Waterloo, 2012-06-21)There is significant interest in the synthesis of discrete-state random fields, particularly those possessing structure over a wide range of scales. However, given a model on some finest, pixellated scale, it is computationally ... -
Multiscale Methods in Image Modelling and Image Processing
(University of Waterloo, 2005)The field of modelling and processing of 'images' has fairly recently become important, even crucial, to areas of science, medicine, and engineering. The inevitable explosion of imaging modalities and approaches ... -
Stochastic Nested Aggregation for Images and Random Fields
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-11)Image segmentation is a critical step in building a computer vision algorithm that is able to distinguish between separate objects in an image scene. Image segmentation is based on two fundamentally intertwined components: ...
