Abstract:
My work at INRIA Sophia Antipolis from May 2012 to July 2012 concerned implementation of Bootstrap EM and Iterated Conditional Expectation algorithms for parameter estimation of first order Markov Random Field models followed by Simulated Annealing, for segmentation of gray-scale images. The target was to perform a quantitative comparison of the two methods. Apart from successful implementation of these algorithms, an extension of these to multispectral images was performed, and the results obtained were found to be of superior quality compared against the original gray-scale ones.
