. Problème, images peuvent se ramener à un problème d'étiquetage, autrement dit, comment attribuer la bonne étiquette à chaque élément du problème concerné Nous débutons ce chapitre en définissant ce qu'est un problème d'étiquetage, puis nous rappelons comment celui-ci peut se résoudre dans un cadre probabiliste avec les champs aléatoires de Markov avant de le ramener à un problème de minimisation d'éner- gie. La seconde partie de ce chapitre est consacrée aux méthodes de résolution de tels problèmes reposant sur les coupes minimales de graphes. Nous commençons en traitant le cas d'un problème à seulement deux étiquettes et montrons comment il a pu être étendu pour obtenir un résultat approché dans le cas général ou bien encore un résultat optimal sous certaines conditions Une de ces méthodes est, par la suite, utilisée dans les deux applications présentées dans les chapitres 7 et 8. Les méthodes de résolution par {?, ?}-swaps ou par ?-expansions présentées dans la section 6.2.2 ont été légèrement modifiées par rapport à leurs versions d'origines parues dans, Ces modifications, mises en évidence dans les remarques 6.9 et 6, p.38
