Editing Image segmentation (section)

===== Alternative algorithms =====

A range of other methods exist for solving simple as well as higher order MRFs. They include Maximization of Posterior Marginal, Multi-scale MAP estimation,<ref>A. Bouman and M. Shapiro (2002): "A multiscale Random field model for Bayesian image segmentation", IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, pp. 162–177, Vol. 3.</ref> Multiple Resolution segmentation<ref>J. Liu and Y.

Yang (1994): "[https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/297949/ Multiresolution color image segmentation]", IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, pp. 689–700, Vol. 16.</ref> and more. Apart from likelihood estimates, graph-cut using maximum flow<ref>S. Vicente, V. Kolmogorov and C. Rother (2008): "[http://www0.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/s.vicente/papers/connectedGC-CVPR08-TR.pdf Graph cut based image segmentation with connectivity priors]", CVPR</ref> and other highly constrained graph based methods<ref>Corso, Z.
