Monte Carlo Estimation of Morphological Granulometric Discrete Size Distributions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Morphological granulometries are frequently used as descriptors of granularity, or texture, within a binary image. In this paper, we study the problem of estimating the (discrete) size distribution and size density of a random binary image by means of empirical, as well as, Monte Carlo estimators. Theoretical and experimental results demonstrate superiority of the Monte Carlo estimation approach, and suitability of mathematical morphology in studying important properties of a particular binary random image model, widely known as a Markov random eld model.

Discrete morphological size distributions and densities: estimation techniques and applications
| Morphological size distributions and densities are frequently used as descriptors of granularity or texture within an image. They have been successfully employed in a number of image processing and analysis tasks, including shape analysis, multiscale shape representation, texture classiication, and noise ltering. In most cases however it is not possible to analytically compute these quantitie...
متن کاملExtending the rank likelihood for semiparametric copula estimation
Quantitative studies in many fields involve the analysis of multivariate data of diverse types, including measurements that we may consider binary, ordinal and continuous. One approach to the analysis of such mixed data is to use a copula model, in which the associations among the variables are parameterized separately from their univariate marginal distributions. The purpose of this article is...
متن کاملExact Nonparametric Two- Sample Homogeneity Tests for Possibly Discrete Distributions
In this paper, we study several tests for the equality of two unknown distributions. Two are based on empirical distribution functions, three others on nonparametric probability density estimates, and the last ones on differences between sample moments. We suggest controlling the size of such tests (under nonparametric assumptions) by using permutational versions of the tests jointly with the m...

Background: Understanding of the incident electron energy and angular distributions from clinical electron accelerators (linacs) is important for dosimetry and treatment planning. The most important goals of this study were to evaluate the energy fluence and angular distributions of electron beams from a Neptun 10PC linac using the Monte Carlo (MC) code. Materials and Methods: The lina...
متن کاملEfficient MCMC estimation of discrete distributions
In this paper we propose an efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method for estimation of discrete distributions by solving an appropriate system of linear equations. We call the estimator the equation-solving estimator. Our numerical results show that the new estimator makes significant improvements over the conventional frequencyMCMCestimator in terms of accuracy of the estimates. The ne...
