چکیده

In this paper, a novel method for estimating a precise object region using a given rough object region is proposed. For determining whether each pixel belongs to an object or not, the proposed method estimates a joint probability density function (joint p.d.f.) of position, color, and class (object or background). For each pixel, the class with a higher joint p.d.f. is selected. The joint p.d.f. is estimated using a kernel density estimator. Since only local distributions of colors are used for estimating the joint p.d.f., the proposed method can classify pixels correctly even if the object and the background have the same color, which is the case where the conventional methods fail. In the experiments, the number of misclassified pixels estimated by the proposed method was from 12% to 76% of those extracted by conventional methods.

A continuous approximation fitting to the discrete distributions using ODE

The probability density functions fitting to the discrete probability functions has always been needed, and very important. This paper is fitting the continuous curves which are probability density functions to the binomial probability functions, negative binomial geometrics, poisson and hypergeometric. The main key in these fittings is the use of the derivative concept and common differential ...

Criterion for Automatic Selection of the Most Suitable Maximum-Likelihood Thresholding Algorithm for Extracting Object from their Background in a Still Image

Three Maximum-Likelihood thresholding algorithms based on population mixture models are investigated and a criterion is introduced for automatic selection of the most suitable Maximum-Likelihood thresholding algorithm for extracting object from their background in an arbitrary still image. The most suitable algorithm is that whose population mixture model approximates better the probability den...

Locally Estimated Hemodynamic Response Function and Activation Detection Sensitivity in Heroin-Cue Reactivity Study

Introduction: A fixed hemodynamic response function (HRF) is commonly used for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) analysis. However, HRF may vary from region to region and subject to subject. We investigated the effect of locally estimated HRF (in functionally homogenous parcels) on activation detection sensitivity in a heroin cue reactivity study. Methods: We proposed...
