Constructing Topological Maps using Markov Random Fields and Loop-Closure Detection
We present a system which constructs a topological map of an environment given a sequence of images. This system includes a novel image similarity score which uses dynamic programming to match images using both the appearance and relative positions of local features simultaneously. Additionally an MRF is constructed to model the probability of loop-closures. A locally optimal labeling is found using Loopy-BP. Finally we outline a method to generate a topological map from loop closure data. Results are presented on four urban sequences and one indoor sequence.

Colored Markov Random Fields for Probabilistic Topological Modeling
Probabilistic Graphical Models (PGMs) encode conditional dependencies among random variables using a graph -nodes for variables, links for dependencies- and factorize the joint distribution into lower-dimensional compone…
Urban Zoning Using Higher-Order Markov Random Fields on Multi-View Imagery Data
Urban zoning enables various applications in land use analysis and urban planning. As cities evolve, it is important to constantly update the zoning maps of cities to reflect urban pattern changes. This paper proposes a …
Probabilistic Inference of Binary Markov Random Fields in Spiking Neural Networks through Mean-field Approximation
Recent studies have suggested that the cognitive process of the human brain is realized as probabilistic inference and can be further modeled by probabilistic graphical models like Markov random fields. Nevertheless, it …

Human vision has different concentration on visual fields. Cortical magnification factor (CMF) is a popular measurement on visual acuity and cortex concentration. In order to achieve thorough measurement of CMF across th…
Tree-structured Markov random fields with Poisson marginal distributions
A new family of tree-structured Markov random fields for a vector of discrete counting random variables is introduced. According to the characteristics of the family, the marginal distributions of the Markov random field…
