Copulas have attracted much attention in spatial statistics over the past few years. They are used as a flexible alternative to traditional methods for nonGaussian spatial modelin...
Abstract Computer vision is full of problems elegantly expressed in terms of energy minimization. We characterize a class of energies with hierarchical costs and propose a novel hi...
