Our objective is the interpretation of facade images in a top-down manner, using a Markov marked point process formulated as a Gibbs process. Given single rectified facade images, we aim at the accurate detection of relevant facade objects as windows and entrances, using prior knowledge about their possible configurations within facade images. We represent facade objects by a simplified rectangular object model and present an energy model, which evaluates the agreement of a proposed configuration with the given image and the statistics about typical configurations, which we learned from training data. We show promising results on different datasets and provide a qualitative evaluation, which demonstrates the capability of complete and accurate detection of facade objects.

In this paper, we extend our previous 2D connected-tube marked point process (MPP) model to a 3D connected-tube MPP model for fiber detection. In the 3D case, a tube is represented by a cylinder model with two spherical areas at its ends. The spherical area is used to define connection priors that encourage connection of tubes that belong to the same fiber. Since each long fiber can be fitted by a series of connected short tubes, the proposed model is capable of detecting curved long tubes. We present experimental results on fiber-reinforced composite material images to show the performance of our method.

A Markovian arrival stream is a marked point process generated by the state transitions of a given Markovian environmental process and Poisson arrival rates depending on the environment. It is shown that to a given marked point process there is a sequence of such Markovian arrival streams with the property that as m →∞. Various related corollaries (involving stationarity, convergence of moments and ergodicity) and counterexamples are discussed as well.

One result that is of both theoretical and practical importance regarding point processes is the method of thinning. The basic idea of this method is that under some conditions, there exists an embedded Poisson process in any point process such that all its arrival points form a sub-sequence of the Poisson process. We extend this result by showing that on the embedded Poisson process of a uni- or multi-variable marked point process in which interarrival time distributions may depend on the marks, one can define a Markov chain with a discrete state that characterizes the stage of the interarrival times. This implies that one can construct embedded Markov chains with countable state spaces for the state processes of many practical systems that can be modeled by such point processes.
