Bayesian Object Detection through Level Curves Selection
نویسنده
چکیده
Bayesian statistical theory is a convenient way of taking a priori information into consideration when inference is made from images. In Bayesian image detection, the a priori distribution should capture the knowledge about objects. Taking inspiration from [1], we design a prior density that penalizes the area of homogeneous parts in images. The detection problem is further formulated as the estimation of the set of curves that maximizes the posterior distribution. In this paper, we explore a posterior distribution model for which its maximal mode is given by a subset of level curves, that is the boundaries of image level sets. For the completeness of the paper, we present a stepwise greedy algorithm for computing partitions with connected components.

Bayesian Image Segmentation through Level Lines Selection
Bayesian statistical theory is a convenient way of taking a priori information into consideration when inference is made from images. In Bayesian image segmentation, the a priori distribution should capture the knowledge about objects. Taking inspiration from (Alvarez et al., 1999), we design a prior density that penalizes the area of homogeneous parts in images. The segmentation problem is fur...
متن کاملDiscriminant Analysis and Adaptive Wavelet Feature Selection for Statistical Object Detection
We utilize the discriminant analysis to select wavelet features for efficient object detection. The analysis applies to the Bayesian classifier and is extended to the case of boosting. Based on the error analysis under the Bayesian decision rule, we reduce the number of coefficients involved in detection to lower the computational cost. Using a Hidden Markov Tree (HMT) model to describe the pat...
متن کاملFaint Streak Detection with Certificate by Adaptive Multi-level Bayesian Inference
It is known that detecting straight streaks from fast moving celestial objects in optical images is an easy problem as long as the streaks are sufficiently long and/or their signal-to-background (SBR) is sufficiently high. At low SBR the situation is different. Since the SBR can be arbitrarily small in practice, a good detection procedure has to provide a detection certificate which is a yes/no...
متن کاملStatistical Methods for Automated Drug Susceptibility Testing: Bayesian Minimum Inhibitory Concentration Prediction from Growth Curves
Determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of a drug that prevents microbial growth is an important step for managing patients with infections. In this paper we present a novel probabilistic approach that accurately estimates MICs based on a panel of multiple curves reflecting features of bacterial growth. We develop a probabilistic model for determining whether a given dilutio...
