Abstract

We present a technique to handle computer vision problems inducing models with very high order terms - in fact terms of maximal order. Here we consider terms where the cost function depends only on the number of variables that are assigned a certain label, but where the dependence is arbitrary. Applications include image segmentation with a histogram-based data term [28] and the recently introduced marginal probability fields [31]. The presented technique makes use of linear and integer linear programming. We include a set of customized cuts to strengthen the formulations.
