A Homotopy Continuation Method for Parameter Estimation in MRF Models and Image Restoration
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present an alternate approach to estimate the parameters of a Markov random field (MRF) model for images using the concepts of homotopy continuation method. We also develop a joint parameter estimation and image restoration scheme where we have used a fairly general model involving the line fields and tested on a real image. Simulation results using gray level images are presented.

Joint Parameter Estimation and Restoration using MRF Models and Homotopy Continuation Method
This paper presents a joint strategy for parameter estimation of Markov Random Field (MRF) model and image restoration. The proposed scheme is an unsupervised one in the sense that no a priori knowledge of the actual image is assumed. The technique of homotopy continuation method is employed to estimate the model parameters. The model considered involves line fields and is tested on real images...
متن کاملUnsupervised Color Image Segmentation using MRF Models to Preserve Weak Edges
In this paper, an unsupervised color image segmentation scheme is proposed using homotopy continuation method. Different variants of MRF model is used to preserve both strong and weak edges. A Compound Markov Random Field (COMRF) model with Bi-level Binary Line Fields is proposed. The scheme is specifically meant to preserve weak edges besides the well defined strong edges.The proposed scheme i...
متن کاملUnsupervised Color Image Segmentation Using Compound Markov Random Field Model
In this paper, we propose an unsupervised color image segmentation scheme using homotopy continuation method and Compound Markov Random Field (CMRF) model. The proposed scheme is recursive in nature where model parameter estimation and the image label estimation are alternated. Ohta (I1, I2, I3) model is used as the color model for image segmentation and we propose a compound MRF model taking c...
متن کاملML parameter estimation for Markov random fields with applications to Bayesian tomography
Markov random fields (MRF's) have been widely used to model images in Bayesian frameworks for image reconstruction and restoration. Typically, these MRF models have parameters that allow the prior model to be adjusted for best performance. However, optimal estimation of these parameters(sometimes referred to as hyper parameters) is difficult in practice for two reasons: i) direct parameter esti...
متن کاملTwo--level MRF Models for Image Restoration and Segmentation
We present a new general Bayesian formulation for simultaneously restoring and segmenting piecewise smooth images. This implies estimation of the associated parameters of the classes within an image, the class label for each image pixel and the number of classes. The intensity image is modelled by parametric models based on regularized networks. The method fits the regions (or classes) with com...
