Abstract :
Lidar waveforms are 1D signals representing a train of echoes caused by reflections at different targets. Modeling these echoes with the appropriate parametric function is useful to retrieve information about the physical characteristics of the targets. This paper presents a new probabilistic model based on a marked point process which reconstructs the echoes from recorded discrete waveforms as a sequence of parametric curves. Such an approach allows to fit each mode of a waveform with the most suitable function and to deal with both, symmetric and asymmetric, echoes. The model takes into account a data term, which measures the coherence between the models and the waveforms, and a regularization term, which introduces prior knowledge on the reconstructed signal. The exploration of the associated configuration space is performed by a Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampler coupled with simulated annealing. Experiments with different kinds of lidar signals, especially from urban scenes, show the high potential of the proposed approach. To further demonstrate the advantages of the suggested method, actual laser scans are classified and the results are reported. |

Abstract :
Developments in statistics now allow maximum likelihood estimators for the parameters of Markov random fields (MRFs) to be constructed. We detail the theory required, and present an algorithm that is easily implemented and practical in terms of computation time. We demonstrate this algorithm on three MRF models-the standard Potts model, an inhomogeneous variation of the Potts model, and a long-range interaction model, better adapted to modeling real-world images. We estimate the parameters from a synthetic and a real image, and then resynthesize the models to demonstrate which features of the image have been captured by the model. Segmentations are computed based on the estimated parameters and conclusions drawn. |

Abstract :
Developments in Markov chain Monte Carlo procedures have made it possible to perform fully Bayesian image segmentation. By this we mean that all the parameters are treated identically, be they the segmentation labels, the class parameters or the Markov random field prior parameters. We perform the analysis by sampling from the posterior distribution of all the parameters. Sampling from the MRF parameters has traditionally been considered if not intractable then at least computationally prohibitive. In the statistics literature there are descriptions of experiments showing that the MRF parameters may be sampled by approximating the partition function. These experiments are all, however, on `toy' problems; for the typical size of image encountered in engineering applications the phase transition behaviour of the models becomes a major limiting factor in the estimation of the partition function. Nevertheless, we show that, with some care, fully Bayesian segmentation can be performed on realistic sized images. We also compare the fully Bayesian approach with the approximate pseudolikelihood method |
