چکیده
e review a recent result in modeling lower order (univariate and bivariate) probability densities of pixel values resulting from bandpass filtering of images. Assuming an object-based model for images, a parametric family of probabilities, called Bessel K forms, has been derived [1]. This parametric family matches well with the observed histograms for a large variety of images (video, range, infrared, etc.) and filters (Gabors, Laplacian Gaussian, derivatives, etc). The Bessel parameters relate to certain characteristics of objects present in an image and provide fast tools either for object recognition directly or for an intermediate (pruning) step of a larger recognition system. Examples are presented to illustrate the estimation of Bessel forms and their applications in clutter classification and object recognition.

Texture synthesis via a noncausal nonparametric multiscale Markov random field
Our noncausal, nonparametric, multiscale, Markov random field (MRF) model is capable of synthesizing and capturing the characteristics of a wide variety of textures, from the highly structured to the stochastic. We use a multiscale synthesis algorithm incorporating local annealing to obtain larger realizations of texture visually indistinguishable from the training texture.
متن کاملQuantitative Aspects of Single Molecule Microscopy.
Single molecule microscopy is a relatively new optical microscopy technique that allows the detection of individual molecules such as proteins in a cellular context. This technique has generated significant interest among biologists, biophysicists and biochemists, as it holds the promise to provide novel insights into subcellular processes and structures that otherwise cannot be gained through ...
متن کاملStatistical deformable model-based segmentation of image motion
We present a statistical method for the motion-based segmentation of deformable structures undergoing nonrigid movements. The proposed approach relies on two models describing the shape of interest, its variability, and its movement. The first model corresponds to a statistical deformable template that constrains the shape and its deformations. The second model is introduced to represent the op...
متن کاملStochastic language models for style-directed layout analysis of document images
Image segmentation is an important component of any document image analysis system. While many segmentation algorithms exist in the literature, very few i) allow users to specify the physical style, and ii) incorporate user-specified style information into the algorithm's objective function that is to be minimized. We describe a segmentation algorithm that models a document's physical structure...
متن کاملOptimal differentiation based on stochastic signal models
The problem of estimating the time derivative of a signal from sampled measurements is addressed. The measurements may be corrupted by coloured noise. A key idea is to use stochastic models of the signal to be diierentiated and of the measurement noise. Two approaches are suggested. The rst is based on a continuous-time stochastic process as model of the signal. The second approach uses a discr...
