RUTCOR Colloquia - March 29, 2007
Speaker: Ramin Zabih
Affiliation: Computer Science Department, Cornell University
Title: Flow-based optimization methods in computer vision.
Time: 1:30 - 2:30 PM
Location: RUTCOR Building - Room 139, Rutgers University, Busch Campus, Piscataway, NJ
Abstract:
Computer vision is a rich source of important yet intractable optimization
problems. Until about 10 years ago, these problems were usually solved with
weak method like simulated annealing. During the last decade, however,
algorithms based on max flow have had a large impact on the field. The
algorithms combine interesting theoretical properties with compelling
experimental results. I will describe the most important algorithms and
their preoperties, and provide a few examples of applications where these
methods have proven to be particularly important.
