Abstract

We present several objective functions for vector field segmentation. Leclerc's MRF model is extended by the addition of information-theoretic penalties for regions and distinct means. Massively parallel optimization algorithms are presented. Standard methods of signal detection and estimation are used to develop a theoretical performance analysis, which quantitatively predicts the performance at realistic noise levels. Theoretical and experimental results agree fairly well.
