MRF

MRF is an acronym that can refer to several different concepts and organizations. Notable uses include Markov Random Field, a probabilistic graphical model used in statistics and computer vision, and MRF Limited, an Indian multinational tyre manufacturer.

Markov Random Field: In probability theory, a Markov Random Field (MRF) is a collection of random variables having a Markov property described by a graph. The variables are associated with the nodes of a graph, and edges encode conditional dependencies. They are used to model contextual relations in structured data such as images and natural scenes. In computer vision, MRFs are employed for tasks like image segmentation, denoising, texture modeling, and stereo matching. Inference in Markov Random Fields can be performed via algorithms such as belief propagation, graph cuts, or Markov chain Monte Carlo methods.

MRF Limited: MRF Limited is an Indian multinational tyre manufacturer headquartered in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. It was established in 1946 as Madras Rubber Factory. The company produces a wide range of tires for two-wheelers, passenger cars, trucks and buses, as well as retreading materials and rubber products. It operates a large manufacturing and distribution network in India and exports to various markets. MRF is publicly listed on Indian stock exchanges and is one of the best-known tyre brands in India, with a long history of sponsorships and motorsport involvement.
