The proposed method estimates a gaussian mixture model with three kernels as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), normal tissue and Multiple Sclerosis lesions. To estimate this model, an automatic Entropy based EM algorithm is used to find the best estimated Model. Then, Markov random field (MRF) model and EM algorithm are utilized to obtain and upgrade the class conditional probability density function and the apriori probability of each class. After estimation of Model parameters and apriori probability, brain tissues are classified using bayesian classification. To evaluate the result of the proposed method, similarity criteria of different slices related to 20 MS patients are calculated and compared with other methods which include manual segmentation. Also, volume of segmented lesions are computed and compared with gold standard using correlation coefficient. The proposed method has better performance in comparison with previous works which are reported here.展开更多

In first stage, an unknown driving situation is determined as stopping behavior or non-stopping behavior. In second stage, a Hidden Markov Model （HMM）-based pattern recognition method is used to model and recognize six non-stopping driving situations. The authors attempt to find the optimal HMM configuration to improve the performance of driving situation recognition. Center for Integrated Acoustic Information Research （CLAIR） in-vehicle corpus is used to evaluate the HMM-based recognition method. Driving situation categories are recognized using five driving signals. The proposed method achieves a relative error reduction rate of 30.9% compared to a conventional one-stage based HMMs.展开更多
