## Function Documentation

## ◆ alpha_expansion_graphcut()

template<typename InputGraph , typename EdgeCostMap , typename VertexLabelCostMap , typename VertexLabelMap , typename NamedParameters = parameters::Default_named_parameters>

double CGAL::alpha_expansion_graphcut | ( | const InputGraph & | input_graph,
|  | EdgeCostMap | edge_cost_map,
|  | VertexLabelCostMap | vertex_label_cost_map,
|  | VertexLabelMap | vertex_label_map,
|  | const NamedParameters & | np = `parameters::default_values()`
| ) |  |

`#include <CGAL/boost/graph/alpha_expansion_graphcut.h>`

regularizes a partition of a graph into `n` labels using the alpha expansion algorithm [1].

For a graph \((V,E)\), this function computes a partition `f` that minimizes the following cost function:

\[ \mathrm{C}(f) = \sum_{\{v0,v1\} \in E} C_E(v0,v1) + \sum_{v \in V} C_V(f_v) \]

where \(C_E(v0,v1)\) is the edge cost of assigning a different label to \(v0\) and \(v1\), and \(C_V(f_v)\) is the vertex cost of assigning the label \(f\) to the vertex \(v\).

Template Parameters

  InputGraph | a model of `VertexAndEdgeListGraph`
  EdgeCostMap | a model of `ReadablePropertyMap` with `boost::graph_traits<InputGraph>::edge_descriptor` as key and `double` as value
  VertexLabelCostMap | a model of `ReadablePropertyMap` with `boost::graph_traits<InputGraph>::vertex_descriptor` as key and `std::vector<double>` as value
  VertexLabelMap | a model of `ReadWritePropertyMap` with `boost::graph_traits<InputGraph>::vertex_descriptor` as key and `std::size_t` as value
  NamedParameters | a sequence of named parameters

Parameters

  input_graph | the input graph.
  edge_cost_map | a property map providing the weight of each edge.
  vertex_label_map | a property map providing the label of each vertex. This map will be updated by the algorithm with the regularized version of the partition.
  vertex_label_cost_map | a property map providing, for each vertex, an `std::vector` containing the cost of this vertex to belong to each label. Each `std::vector` should have the same size `n` (which is the number of labels), each label being indexed from `0` to `n-1`. For example, `get(vertex_label_cost_map, vd)[label_idx]` returns the cost of vertex `vd` to belong to the label `label_idx`.
  np | an optional sequence of Named Parameters among the ones listed below

Optional Named Parameters

  a property map associating to each vertex of `input_graph` a unique index between `0` and `num_vertices(input_graph) - 1` Type: a class model of `ReadablePropertyMap` with `boost::graph_traits<InputGraph>::vertex_descriptor` as key type and `std::size_t` as value type Default: an automatically indexed internal map Extra: If this parameter is not passed, internal machinery will create and initialize a face index property map, either using the internal property map if it exists or using an external map. The latter might result in - slightly - worsened performance in case of non-constant complexity for index access. |
  a tag used to select which implementation of the alpha expansion should be used. Available implementation tags are: `CGAL::Alpha_expansion_boost_adjacency_list` `CGAL::Alpha_expansion_boost_compressed_sparse_row_tag` `CGAL::Alpha_expansion_MaxFlow_tag` Default: `CGAL::Alpha_expansion_boost_adjacency_list` |

Note
  The `MaxFlow` implementation is provided by the Triangulated Surface Mesh Segmentation package under GPL license. The header `<CGAL/boost/graph/Alpha_expansion_MaxFlow_tag.h>` must be included if users want to use this implementation.

Examples
  BGL_graphcut/alpha_expansion_example.cpp.

## ◆ split_graph_into_polylines()

template<typename Graph , typename Visitor , typename IsTerminal >

void CGAL::split_graph_into_polylines | ( | const Graph & | graph,
|  | Visitor & | polyline_visitor,
|  | IsTerminal | is_terminal
| ) |  |

`#include <CGAL/boost/graph/split_graph_into_polylines.h>`

splits into polylines the graph `g` at vertices of degree greater than 2 and at vertices for which `is_terminal(v,graph)==true`.

The polylines are reported using a visitor.

Template Parameters

  Graph | a model of the `boost` concepts `VertexListGraph` and `EdgeListGraph`.
  Visitor | a class that provides: `void start_new_polyline()` called when starting the description of a polyline. `void add_node(typename boost::graph_traits<Graph>::vertex_descriptor v)` called for each vertex `v` of the polyline currently described. If the polyline is closed this function will be called twice for the first vertex of the cycle picked (once after calling `start_new_polyline()` and once before the call to `end_polyline()`. `void end_polyline()` called when the description of a polyline is finished.
  IsTerminal | A functor providing `bool operator()(boost::graph_traits<Graph>::vertex_descriptor v, const Graph& g) const` returning true if the vertex `v` of degree 2 is a polyline endpoint and false otherwise.

An overload without `is_terminal` is provided if no vertices but those of degree different from 2 are polyline endpoints.
