Rough Histograms for Robust Statistics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Applied statistics are widely used in pattern recognition and other computing applications to find the most likely value of a parameter. The use of classical empirical statistics is based upon assumption about normality of underhing density distribution of data. When the data is corrupted by contaminated noise, then classical tools are usually not robust enough and the estimation of the mode is biased. In this article, we propose to estimate the main mode of a distribution by means of a rough histogram and we show that this estimation is robust to contamination.

Experiments in Binning Image Statistics
Various vision tasks require the computation of image statistics and aggregating them into histograms. These histograms are usually compared using the χ distance which gives a rough idea of the similarity of the two image patches. For example, in [2] a histogram of key-points is collected on a rectangular grid for the category recognition task. Other researchers, [3], have used local image stat...
متن کاملCell Image Classification Using Histograms, Higher Order Statistics and Adaboost
A cell classification algorithm that uses first, second and third order statistics of pixel intensity distributions over predefined regions is implemented and evaluated. A cell image is segmented into 6 regions extending from a boundary layer to an inner circle. First, second and third order statistical features are extracted from histograms of pixel intensities in these regions. Third order st...
متن کاملAutomatic background generation from a sequence of images based on robust mode estimation
In this paper, we present a novel method for generating a background model from a sequence of images with moving objects. Our approach is based on non-parametric statistics and robust mode estimation using quasicontinuous histograms (QCH) framework. The proposed method allows the generation of very clear backgrounds without blur effect, and is robust to noise and small variations. Experimental ...
متن کاملg_whamsA Free Weighted Histogram Analysis Implementation Including Robust Error and Autocorrelation Estimates
The Weighted Histogram Analysis Method (WHAM) is a standard technique used to compute potentials of mean force (PMFs) from a set of umbrella sampling simulations. Here, we present a new WHAM implementation, termed g_wham, which is distributed freely with the GROMACS molecular simulation suite. g_wham estimates statistical errors using the technique of bootstrap analysis. Three bootstrap methods...
متن کاملبررسی دو روش فتوگرامتری و زبری سنج لیزری به منظور اندازه‌گیری میکروتوپوگرافی خاک
At present, soil surface characteristics (SSC) are recognised as key parameters controlling infiltration rates, runoff generation and erosion. Microtopography of surface among SSC is the main one. The work presented in this paper is based on a set of digital elevation models (DEMs) supplied by two different methods: Laser roughness-meter and photogrammetry method. We used two maquettes. The use...
