Abstract A method based on feature vector set is proposed to render a sparse solution for kernel Logistic Regression (LR) and decrease computation complexity of posterior probability estimation. The proposed method is combined with Markov Random Field (MRF) in terms of Bayes rule, in which the conditional probability is replaced with posterior probability estimated by kernel LR. The combination is applied to image segmentation. Experiments on texture image segmentation show the performance of the proposed method is suporior to that of Gaussian MRF method.
