This study introduces a new generative model and EM algorithm for image segmentation. The method enhances pixel label accuracy through spatial constraints, offering competitive and faster results than existing techniques.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Vision
  • Machine Learning
  • Image Processing

Background:

  • Model-based image segmentation is crucial for analyzing visual data.
  • Existing methods like Markov-based approaches have limitations in speed and accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel spatially constrained generative model for image segmentation.
  • To introduce an expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm for parameter estimation in this model.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a generative model where neighboring pixel labels share similar prior parameters, defined by entropic quantities.
  • Derived a spatially constrained EM algorithm that maximizes a data-dependent lower bound on log-likelihood.
  • Incorporated label posterior smoothing via standard image filters between E- and M-steps.
