Abstract
One of the key factors for the success of recent energy

minimization methods is that they seek to compute global

solutions. Even for non-convex energy functionals, optimization

methods such as graph cuts have proven to produce

high-quality solutions by iterative minimization based on

large neighborhoods, making them less vulnerable to local

minima. Our approach takes this a step further by enlarging

the search neighborhood with one dimension.

In this paper we consider binary total variation problems

that depend on an additional set of parameters. Examples

include:

(i) the Chan-Vese model that we solve globally

(ii) ratio and... (More)

In this paper we consider binary total variation problems

that depend on an additional set of parameters. Examples

include:

(i) the Chan-Vese model that we solve globally

(ii) ratio and constrained minimization which can be formulated

as parametric problems, and

(iii) variants of the Mumford-Shah functional.

Our approach is based on a recent theorem of Chambolle

which states that solving a one-parameter family of binary

problems amounts to solving a single convex variational

problem. We prove a generalization of this result and show

how it can be applied to parametric optimization. (Less)
