Automatic Definition of Optimal Default Parameters of Models: Image Matting Application

Abstract

As a general rule, each user must provide thetool applied with particular values of its input parameters. Aninexperienced user may hardly figure out their values and thetool developer must define the default values in order to helpher/him. We present an approach to solve the problem with thehelp of multi-criteria optimization that is new in this formulation. We demonstrate our approach in closer details using an examplefrom the automatic definition of optimal default parameters forreal-time merging of visual objects. Our approach is generic andmay be also used for any kind of such inverse problems.
