Abstract:This paper presents a novel pseudo-likelihood equation for the estimation of the Potts MRF model parameter on second-order neighborhood systems. Experiments with simulated images comparing the proposed estimation method with a recent maximumlikelihood estimation approach derived in literature show the superiority of our methodology. In order to evaluate the performance of the estimation method, we proposed a hypothesis testing approach to validate the obtained results. The test statistic together with the pval… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
