Digital Image Processing Laboratory : The EM Algorithm
نویسنده
چکیده
This laboratory explores the use of the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm for the estimate of parameters. In particular, we will use the EM algorithm for two applications: clustering, and hidden Markov model training. You are encouraged to implement your solutions to this laboratory in Matlab. For an original derivation of the monotone convergence of the likelihood for the EM algorithm, the reader is encouraged to read [1]. The publication [2] has a clear treatment of the application to the EM algorithm to Gaussian mixtures and to novel approach to the problem of order identification. The paper [3] is a widely cited tutorial reference, and the papers [3] and [4] present valuable analyses of the convergence properties of the EM algorithm. The EM algorithm is very useful for computing maximum likelihood (ML) estimates of parameters when observations are incomplete. Consider the case when it is necessary to estimate the parameter vector θ ∈ Ω from the complete data Y and X. The ML estimate of θ is given by

Processing Digital Image for Measurement of Crack Dimensions in Concrete
The elements of the concrete structure are most frequently affected by cracking. Crack detection is essential to ensure safety and performance during its service life. Cracks do not have a regular shape, in order to achieve the exact dimensions of the crack; the general mathematical formulae are by no means applicable. The authors have proposed a new method which aims to measure the crack dimen...

متن کاملAutomatic Detection and Localization of Surface Cracks in Continuously Cast Hot Steel Slabs Using Digital Image Analysis Techniques
Quality inspection is an indispensable part of modern industrial manufacturing. Steel as a major industry requires constant surveillance and supervision through its various stages of production. Continuous casting is a critical step in the steel manufacturing process in which molten steel is solidified into a semi-finished product called slab. Once the slab is released from the casting unit, th...
