Abstract
Over recent years, computer vision has made great strides towards
annotating parts of an image with coherent semantic labels (such as
car, road, person, sky, and so on). However, current methods make no
attempt to understand the image as a whole, and therefore cannot draw
on powerful contextual cues to help resolve ambiguities. In this
talk, I will describe some recent work that uses probabilistic models
and machine learning to interpret images holistically and move us
closer toward the goal of semantic scene understanding
