Texture Similarity Measure Using Kullback-Leibler Divergence between Gamma Distributions
We propose a texture similarity measure based on the Kullback-Leibler divergence between gamma distributions (KLGamma). We conjecture that the spatially smoothed Gabor filter magnitude responses of some classes of visually homogeneous stochastic textures are gamma distributed. Classification experiments with disjoint test and training images, show that the KLGamma measure performs better than o...
متن کاملComputing the Kullback-Leibler Divergence between two Generalized Gamma Distributions
We derive a closed form solution for the Kullback-Leibler divergence between two generalized gamma distributions. These notes are meant as a reference and provide a guided tour towards a result of practical interest that is rarely explicated in the literature. 1 The Generalized Gamma Distribution The origins of the generalized gamma distribution can be traced back to work of Amoroso in 1925 [1,...
متن کاملKullback-Leibler Divergence for the Normal-Gamma Distribution
We derive the Kullback-Leibler divergence for the normal-gamma distribution and show that it is identical to the Bayesian complexity penalty for the univariate general linear model with conjugate priors. Based on this finding, we provide two applications of the KL divergence, one in simulated and one in empirical data.
متن کاملKullback-Leibler Divergence Measure for Multivariate Skew-Normal Distributions
The aim of this work is to provide the tools to compute the well-known Kullback–Leibler divergence measure for the flexible family of multivariate skew-normal distributions. In particular, we use the Jeffreys divergence measure to compare the multivariate normal distribution with the skew-multivariate normal distribution, showing that this is equivalent to comparing univariate versions of these...
متن کاملComputing the Kullback-Leibler Divergence between two Weibull Distributions
We derive a closed form solution for the Kullback-Leibler divergence between two Weibull distributions. These notes are meant as reference material and intended to provide a guided tour towards a result that is often mentioned but seldom made explicit in the literature. 1 The Weibull Distribution TheWeibull distribution is the type III extreme value distribution; its probability density functio...
