Here is a brief description of how to use the code; see also example.cpp and mrf.h. The default type for energy is int. If you want to change this type to other numerical type, such as int, double, etc., in mrf.h, change the following 2 lines to the desired type: typedef int EnergyVal; /* The total energy of a labeling */ typedef int CostVal; /* costs of individual terms of the energy */ Note that CostVal is the type of individual energy terms (such as the data cost for pixel p and label l), and EnergyVal is the type for the total energy value. Therefore, the sum of all individual energy terms should not "overflow" the EnergyVal type. Step 1: Set up an energy function An energy function is specified by setting data costs and smoothness costs. Data costs and smoothness costs can be specified by an array or function. In addition, smoothness cost can be specified by parameters lambda, k, V_max, as explained in section 2 of paper [1], in which case the smoothness cost V(|l1-l2|) = lambda*min(V_max,|l1-l2|^k). Spatially varying per-pairing weights w_pq can be also specified. (a) Setting up Data Terms There are 2 ways to set up data terms: (i) you can allocate an array dCost of size (numberofPixels)*(numberofLabels) of the CostVal type, where dCost[pix*numberofLabels + l] is the cost of assigning label l to pixel pix (ii) or you can set up a function MRF::CostVal dCost(int pix, int i), which takes pixel pix and label i and returns the data cost After you initialized data cost array, or setup a function data cost, to initialize data cost for optimization, call: DataCost *data = new DataCost(dCost); (b) Setting up Smoothness Terms There are 3 ways to set up smoothness terms: (i) Set up a symmetric array smooth of size numberofLabels*numberofLabels, where V(l1,l2) = smooth[l1+numberofLabels*l2] = smooth[l2+numberofLabels*l1] (ii) Specify V_max and k (iii) The most general way is to set up afunction MRF::CostVal fnCost(int pix1, int pix2, int i, int j) which takes pixels pix1 and pix2, labels i and j and returns the smoothness penalty V for assigning labels i to pix1 and j to pix2. In addition, if you used (i) or (ii) to specify the smoothness penalty V, and if the neighborhood system is the standard 4 connected grid, you can specify the spacial varying weights w_pq in arrays vCue, hCue, each of which has size width*height, where width is the width of the grid and height is the height of the set of the grid. hCue[x+y*width] holds the variable weight for edge between pixels (x+1,y) and (x,y) and vCue[x+y*width] holds the variable weight for edge between pixels (x,y+1) and (x,y) After you've done steps (i), or (ii), or (iii), to initialize smoothness cost for optimization, call: In case of (i) and NO spacially varying weights w_pq: SmoothnessCost *smooth = new SmoothnessCost(smooth); In case of (i) and spacially varying weights w_pq: SmoothnessCost *smooth = new SmoothnessCost(smooth,hCue,vCue); Note that in
