Unsupervised Hierarchical Markovian

چکیده
This paper is concerned with hierarchical Markov Random Field (MRF) models and with their application to sonar image segmentation. We present a novel unsupervised hierarchical MRF model involving a pyramidal label eld and a scale-causal and spatial neighborhood structure. This allows us to more precisely model the local and global characteristics of image content for diierent scales. Such connections lead to eeciently propagate interactions and this approach seems to be well suited for the segmentation of very noisy sonar images. The MRF prior model parameters are estimated in an accurate and fast way simultaneously to the segmentation process by generalizing the estimation method proposed by Derin et al. Experiments with real images indicate that the proposed SCM algorithm (Scale Causal Multigrid) performs better than other hierarchical schemes for sonar image segmentation.

Connected image processing with multivariate attributes: An unsupervised Markovian classification approach
This article presents a new approach for constructing connected operators for image processing and analysis. It relies on a hierarchical Markovian unsupervised algorithm in order to classify the nodes of the traditional Max-Tree. This approach enables to naturally handle multivariate attributes in a robust non-local way. The technique is demonstrated on several image analysis tasks: filtering, ...
متن کاملUnsupervised Parallel Image Classification Using a Hierarchical Markovian Model∗
This paper deals with the problem of unsupervised classification of images modeled by Markov Random Fields (MRF). If the model parameters are known then we have various methods to solve the segmentation problem (simulated annealing, ICM, etc. . . ). However, when they are not known, the problem becomes more difficult. One has to estimate the hidden label field parameters from the only observabl...
