چکیده

In this project1, we study the hidden Markov random field (HMRF) model and its expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. We implement a MATLAB toolbox named HMRF-EM-image for 2D image segmentation using the HMRF-EM framework2. This toolbox also implements edge-prior-preserving image segmentation, and can be easily reconfigured for other problems, such as 3D image segmentation.

GMM-Based Hidden Markov Random Field for Color Image and 3D Volume Segmentation

In this project1, we first study the Gaussian-based hidden Markov random field (HMRF) model and its expectationmaximization (EM) algorithm. Then we generalize it to Gaussian mixture model-based hidden Markov random field. The algorithm is implemented in MATLAB. We also apply this algorithm to color image segmentation problems and 3D volume segmentation problems.

Unsupervised Image Segmentation using Tabu Search and Hidden Markov Random Field Model

We propose a Tabu search based Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm for image segmentation in an unsupervised frame work. Hidden Markov Random Field (HMRF) model is used to model the images. The observed image is considered to be a realization of Gaussian Hidden Markov Random Field (GHMRF) model. The segmentation problem is formulated as a pixel labeling problem. The GHMRF model parameters a...

Speeding up HMRF_EM algorithms for fast unsupervised image segmentation by Bootstrap resampling: Application to the brain tissue segmentation

This work deals with global statistical unsupervised segmentation algorithms. In the context of Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI), an accurate and robust segmentation can be achieved by combining both the Hidden Markov Random Field (HMRF) model and the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm. This EM–HMRF approach is accomplished by taking into account spatial information to improve the segmentati...

An HMRF-EM Algorithm for Partial Volume Segmentation of Brain MRI FMRIB Technical Report TR01YZ1

The hidden Markov random field (HMRF) model, which represents a stochastic process generated by a Markov random field whose state sequence cannot be observed directly but which can be indirectly estimated through observations, has been successfully applied on segmenting piecewise constant images, especially for human brain MR images [Zhang et al., 2001]. In this paper, we extend this model, and...

A Heavy Tailed Expectation Maximization Hidden Markov Random Field Model with Applications to Segmentation of MRI

A wide range of segmentation approaches assumes that intensity histograms extracted from magnetic resonance images (MRI) have a distribution for each brain tissue that can be modeled by a Gaussian distribution or a mixture of them. Nevertheless, intensity histograms of White Matter and Gray Matter are not symmetric and they exhibit heavy tails. In this work, we present a hidden Markov random fi...
