Abstract

Maximum flow and minimum s-t cut algorithms are used to solve several fundamental problems in computer vision. These problems have special structure, and standard techniques perform worse than the special-purpose Boykov-Kolmogorov (BK) algorithm. We introduce the incremental breadth-first search (IBFS) method, which uses ideas from BK but augments on shortest paths. IBFS is theoretically justified (runs in polynomial time) and usually outperforms BK on vision problems. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
