Ebook: Bayesian Approach to Image Interpretation

Writing for students and researchers in the field, Kopparapu (research and development for a private company in Bangalore, India) and Desai (electrical engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay) present a description and up-to-date treatment of image interpretation. The initial chapters describe the state of research, Markov random fields, their application to computer vision, the concept of cliques, and Bayesian network image interpretation. The authors then propose a new approach that applies synergism between the process of segmentation and interpretation in a multi-resolution framework and presents a joint segmentation and image interpretation algorithm.
