Decision Forests for Computer Vision and Medical Image Analysis

Decision forests (also known as random forests) are an indispensable tool for automatic image analysis. This practical and easy-to-follow text explores the theoretical underpinnings of decision forests, organizing the vast existing literature on the field within a new, general-purpose forest model....
