Improving Consistency and Reducing Ambiguity in Stochastic Labeling: An Optimization Approach,
PAMI(3), No. 4, July 1981, pp. 412-424. This paper describes the essence of the gradient optimization approach to relaxation labeling. A global criterion is defined that combines the concepts of ambiguity and consistency. The relaxation procedure is used to minimize the criterion, by moving in the direction of the strongest gradient. This basic technique was used by other researchers in matching problems as in Bhanu (
See also Shape Matching of Two-Dimensional Objects. ) and Faugeras-Price (
See also Semantic Description of Aerial Images Using Stochastic Labeling. ). BibRef 8107

And: ICPR82(405-412). The problem is how to represent non-support (negative support) and ignorance. Normalization of the Q vectors is not needed. Interesting-new numbers and computation-try it out to see what it really means! The second version says about the same as the first, but there is more of it. BibRef
