Rayleigh-maximum-likelihood bilateral filter for ultrasound image enhancement
BACKGROUND Ultrasound imaging plays an important role in computer diagnosis since it is non-invasive and cost-effective. However, ultrasound images are inevitably contaminated by noise and speckle during acquisition. Noise and speckle directly impact the physician to interpret the images and decrease the accuracy in clinical diagnosis. Denoising method is an important component to enhance the q...
متن کاملDeformable boundaries for maximum likelihood segmentation of medical images
1 Abstract The segmentation of objects in medical images may be facilitated through incorporation of a priori knowledge describing the expected positions and natural shape variability of the various structures which constitute such images. In this paper, we describe an algorithm which, given a training set containing several examples of a particular shape, learns the joint probability distribut...
متن کاملMammography segmentation with maximum likelihood active contours
We present a computer-aided approach to segmenting suspicious lesions in digital mammograms, based on a novel maximum likelihood active contour model using level sets (MLACMLS). The algorithm estimates the segmentation contour that best separates the lesion from the background using the Gamma distribution to model the intensity of both regions (foreground and background). The Gamma distribution...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Estimation of Dirichlet Distribution Parameters
The Dirichlet distribution is one that has often been turned to in Bayesian statistical inference as a convenient prior distribution to place over proportional data. To properly motivate its study, we will begin with a simple coin toss example, where the task will be to find a suitable distribution P which summarizes our beliefs about the probability that the toss will result in heads, based on...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Maximum Likelihood Receiver for Rayleigh Fading Channels
The purpose of this thesis is to develop a practical receiver for Rayleigh fadin?; channels. which does not exhibit the error floor found for conventional receivers in this channel. .-\ model of a general time and frequency-selective channel is developed, and the opt.imal receiver structure for a time-selective channel is derived for general signalling. The theoretical performance of a standard...
