Segmentation of brain MR images through a hidden Markov random field model and the expectation-maximization algorithm.
The finite mixture (FM) model is the most commonly used model for statistical segmentation of brain magnetic resonance (MR) images because of its simple mathematical form and the piecewise constant nature of ideal brain MR images. However, being a histogram-based model, the FM has an intrinsic limit...
