The Discontinuity Adaptive MRF Model

By analyzing the smoothing mechanism in terms of the Euler equation,   it will be clear that major difference between different models lies in their way of controlling the interaction between neighboring points and adjusting the smoothing strength. The DA model is defined based on the principle that wherever a discontinuity occurs, the interaction should diminish.
