“…Gidas (1990) proposes a method which uses the renormalization group theory, MRFs and Metropolis algorithm for global optimization. How to preserve the inter-relationships between objects in the scene using the renormalization group transformation are studied in (Geiger and Kogler Jr. 1993;Hurn and Gennison 1993;Petrou 1993). …”

“…This limits the usefulness of these methods for any real time applications [35]. This category includes methods that are based on image models such as, Markov random fields [45,46], Gibbs random field [47,48,1,4], and others [49].…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
