Abstract
In this work, we look at mean field annealing (MFA) from two different perspectives: information theory and statistical mechanics. An iterative, deterministic algorithm is developed to obtain the mean field solution for disparity calculation in stereo images.
This article was processed using the LATEX macro package with ECCV92 style.
