Markov Random Field Modelling of fMRI Data Using a Mean Field EM-algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper considers the use of the EM-algorithm, combined with mean field theory, for parameter estimation in Markov random field models from unlabelled data. Special attention is given to the theoretical justification for this procedure, based on recent results from the machine learning literature. With these results established, an example is given of the application of this technique for analysis of single trial functional magnetic resonance (fMR) imaging data of the human brain. The resulting model segments fMR images into regions with different ‘brain response’ characteristics.

متن کاملCluster-Based Image Segmentation Using Fuzzy Markov Random Field
Image segmentation is an important task in image processing and computer vision which attract many researchers attention. There are a couple of information sets pixels in an image: statistical and structural information which refer to the feature value of pixel data and local correlation of pixel data, respectively. Markov random field (MRF) is a tool for modeling statistical and structural inf...

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.
متن کاملHidden Markov Random Field and Frame Modelling for TCA Image Analysis
Tooth Cementum Annulation (TCA) is an age estimation method carried out on thin cross sections of the root of the human tooth. Age is computed by adding the tooth eruption age to the count of annual incremental lines which are called tooth rings and appear in the cementum band. Algorithms to denoise and segment the digital image of the tooth section are considered a crucial step towards compute...
متن کاملSpatial Fuzzy Clustering using EM and Markov Random Fields
Methods are investigated in order to partition in k groups a set of n multivariate observation vectors located at neighboring geographic sites; applications include image segmentation, ecological or soil data cartography. In this perspective, the deterministic variant of the EM procedure described in Zhang (1992) for hidden Markov random fields is shown to be equivalent to the optimization of a...
