A new segmentation method, called multi-resolution Ganssian mixture model method, is proposed. First, an image pyramid is constructed and son-father link relationship is built between each level of pyramid. Then the mixture model segmentation method is applied to the top level. The segmentation result on the top level is passed top-down to the bottom level according to the son-father link relationship between levels. The proposed method considers not only local but also global information of image, it overcomes the effect of noise and can obtain better segmentation result. Experimental result demonstrates its effectiveness.展开更多

Quaternion wavelet transform is a new kind of multiresolution analysis tools. Image via quaternion wavelet transform, wavelet coefficients both in intrascale and in interscale have certain correla- tions. First, according to the correlation of quaternion wavelet coefficients in interscale, non-Ganssian distribution model is used to model its correlations, and the coefficients are divided into important and unimportance coefficients. Then we use the non-Gaussian distribution model to model the important coefficients and its adjacent coefficients, and utilize the MAP method estimate original image wavelet coefficients from noisy coefficients, so as to achieve the purpose of denoising. Experimental results show that our al- gorithm outperforms the other classical algorithms in peak signal-to-noise ratio and visual quality.展开更多
