Pararmeter Estimation in Gibbs-markov Image Models

چکیده
This paper introduces two novel approaches to estimate the clique potentials in binary and multilevel realizations of Gibbs Markov random field (GMRF) models. The first approach employs a genetic algorithm (GA) in order to arrive at the closest synthesized image that resembles the original “observed” image. The Second approach is used to estimate the parameters of Gaussian Markov random field. Given an image formed of a number of classes, an initial class density is assumed and the parameters of the densities are estimated using the EM approach. Convergence to the true distribution is tested using the Levy distance. The segmentation of classes is performed iteratively using the ICM algorithm and a genetic algorithm (GA) search approach that provides the maximum a posteriori probability of pixel classification. During the iterations, the GA approach is used to select the clique potentials of the Gibbs-Markov models used for the observed image. The algorithm stops when a fitness function, equivalent to the maximum a posteriori probability, does not change. The approach has been tested on synthetic and real images and is shown to provide satisfactory results.

متن کاملBayesian Image Segmentation Using MRF's Combined with Hierarchical Prior Models
The problem of image segmentation can be formulated in the framework of Bayesian statistics. We use a Markov random field as the prior model of the spacial relationship between image pixels, and approximate an observed image by a Gaussian mixture model. In this paper, we introduce into the statistical model a hierarchical prior structure from which model parameters are regarded as drawn. This w...

In this paper, we propose a family of non-homogeneous Gauss-Markov fields with Potts region labels model for images to be used in a Bayesian estimation framework, in order to jointly restore and segment images degraded by a known point spread function and additive noise. The joint posterior law of all the unknowns ( the unknown image, its segmentation hidden variable and all the hyperparameters...
