any recommendation for parameters?

[sedghi]

thanks for the code first of all, it looks fantastic
I was wondering if there is any explanation for the meaning of parameters ( pos_x_std, pos_y_std, pos_z_std, pos_w, bilateral_x_std,bilateral_y_std, bilateral_z_std, bilateral_intensity_std,bilateral_w) , is there any recommendation on the values of these parameters? Do i need to change them based on my application ?
Thanks in advance

If you checkout this file you will find a quick explanation of the parameters in the comments. They are all preset to values that worked for me to segment livers in CT image volumes:

DenseInferenceWrapper/denseinference/CRFProcessor.py

For further information on how the algorithm work, check out the original paper by Krähenbühl: http://www.philkr.net/papers/2011-12-01-nips/2011-12-01-nips.pdf

You probably have to adjust these parameters according to your use case, as these values are used to normalize your features.

Here the parameters pos_x_std, pos_y_std, pos_z_std and pos_w are used:
DenseInferenceWrapper/denseinference/lib/libDenseCRF/densecrf.cpp#L174

and

here the parameters bilateral_x_std, bilateral_y_std, bilateral_z_std, bilateral_intensity_std and bilateral_w are used:
DenseInferenceWrapper/denseinference/lib/libDenseCRF/densecrf.cpp#L214

Hope that helps!

Hi, how is the effect of default parameters? I found it is strange when I use the default parameters. It seem that the effect of CRF operation is same with the erode operation's.

See in the below picture, the white is the result without CRF, the red is the result with CRF. And the white result is better.

I think that I am calling 3DCRF with the correct parameters based on a Caffe 1.0.0 produced liver mask.
But, I am also seeing a highly eroded result like UpCoder.
