Keywords : Markov processes, Monte Carlo methods, Potts model, Image segmentation, Maximum likelihood estimation . @ARTICLE{xd99c, author = {Descombes, X. and Morris, R. and Zerubia, J. and Berthod, M.}, title = {Estimation of Markov Random Field prior parameters using Markov chain Monte Carlo Maximum Likelihood}, year = {1999}, month = {July}, journal = {IEEE Trans.

We detail the theory required, and present an algorithm that is easily implemented and practical in terms of computation time. We demonstrate this algorithm on three MRF models-the standard Potts model, an inhomogeneous variation of the Potts model, and a long-range interaction model, better adapted to modeling real-world images. We estimate the parameters from a synthetic and a real image, and then resynthesize the models to demonstrate which features of the image have been captured by the model. Segmentations are computed based on the estimated parameters and conclusions drawn.

If the model parameters are known then we have various methods to solve the segmentation problem (simulated annealing (SA), iterated conditional modes (ICM), etc). However, when the parameters are unknown, the problem becomes more difficult. One has to estimate the hidden label field parameters only from the observed image. Herein, we are interested in parameter estimation methods related to monogrid and hierarchical MRF models. The basic idea is similar to the expectation–maximization (EM) algorithm: we recursively look at the maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimate of the label field given the estimated parameters, then we look at the maximum likelihood (ML) estimate of the parameters given a tentative labeling obtained at the previous step. The only parameter supposed to be known is the number of classes, all the other parameters are estimated. The proposed algorithms have been implemented on a Connection Machine CM200. Comparative experiments have been performed on both noisy synthetic data and real images.

PhD Thesis and Habilitation

1 - Analyse de Texture par Méthodes Markoviennes et par Morphologie Mathématique : Application à l'Analyse des Zones Urbaines sur des Images Satellitales. A. Lorette. PhD Thesis, Universite de Nice Sophia Antipolis, September 1999. Keywords : Texture, Segmentation, Markov Fields, Mathematical morphology, Urban areas. @PHDTHESIS{lorette99, author = {Lorette, A.}, title = {Analyse de Texture par Méthodes Markoviennes et par Morphologie Mathématique : Application à l'Analyse des Zones Urbaines sur des Images Satellitales}, year = {1999}, month = {September}, school = {Universite de Nice Sophia Antipolis}, pdf = {Theses/these-lorette.pdf}, keyword = {Texture, Segmentation, Markov Fields, Mathematical morphology, Urban areas} } Résumé : Dans cette thèse, nous nous intéressons au problème de l'analyse urbaine à partir d'images satellitales par des méthodes automatiques ou semi-automatiques issues du traitement d'image. Dans le premier chapitre, nous présentons le contexte dans lequel le travail a été effectué. Nous exposons les types de données utilisées, les approches statistiques considérées. Nous donnons également quelques exemples d'applications qui justifient une telle étude. Enfin, un état de l'art des diverses méthodes d'analyse des textures est présenté. Dans les deux chapitres suivants, nous développons une méthode automatique d'extraction d'un masque urbain à partir d'une analyse de la texture de l'image. Des méthodes d'extraction d'un masque urbain sont décrites. Ensuite, nous définissons plus précisemment les huit modèles markoviens gaussiens fondés sur des chaines. Ces modèles sont renormalisés par une méthode de renormalisation de groupe issue de la physique statistique afin de corriger le biais introduit par l'anisotropie du réseau de pixels. L'analyse de texture proposée est comparée avec deux méthodes classiques: les matrices de cooccurrence et les filtres de Gabor. L'image du paramètre de texture est ensuite classifiée avec un algorithme non supervisé de classification floue fondée sur la définition d'un critère entropique. Les paramètres estimés avec cet algorithme sont intégrés dans un modèle markovien de segmentation. Des résultats d'extraction de masques urbains sont finalement présentés sur des images satellitales optiques SPOT3, des simulations SPOT5, et des images radar ERS1. Dans le quatrième chapitre, nous présentons l'analyse granulométrique utilisée pour analyser le paysage urbain. Les outils et définitions de base de la morphologie mathématique sont exposés. Nous nous intéressons plus particulièrement à l'ouverture par reconstruction qui est utilisée comme transformation de base de la granulométrie. L'étape de quantification qui suit tout étape de transformation nous permet d'estimer en chaque pixel une distribution locale de taille qui est intégrée dans le terme d'attache aux données d'un modèle markovien de segmentation. Des tests sont effectués sur des simulations SPOT5. Abstract : In this thesis, we investigate the problem of urban areas analysis from satellite images by automatic or semi-automatic methods coming from image processing. In the first chapter, we describe the context of this work, i.e. the type of used data, the statistical applied methods. We also give some examples of the applications which require such an analysis. Finally, a study of the existing methods of texture analysis is presented. In the second and third chapter, we develop a non supervised method based on texture analysis in order to extract an urban mask. First a study of the existing methods of urban mask extraction is presented. Second we precisely describe the eight chain-based Gaussian Markovian models used to characterize urban texture. These models are normalized through a renormalization group technique derived from statistical physics in order to correct the bias introduced by the anisotropy of the lattice.The above mentionned method of texture analysis is then compared with two classical ones: coocurrences matrix and Gabor filters. The image is then partitionned by an unsupervised fuzzy Cmeans algorithm based on an entropic criterion. The final segmentation is performed by the minimization of an energy derived from a Markovian model. Some results are presented that are obtained from SPOT3 images, SPOT5 simulations and radar ERS1 images. In the fourth chapter, we present the granulometric approach used to segment within the urban area itself. The basic operations and definitions of mathematical morphology are settled. We are particularly interested in opening by reconstruction operation based on geodesic dilatations. In fact this operation is used to define a granulometry. The quantification step that follows the transformation step consists in estimating a local size distribution function for each pixel. These parameters are then integrated in the data term of a Markovian model. Some results on SPOT5 simulations are presented.
