Stochastic algorithm for Bayesian mixture effect template estimation
Résumé
The estimation of probabilistic deformable template models in computer vision or of probabilistic atlases in Computational Anatomy are core issues in both fields. A first coherent statistical framework where the geometrical variability is modelled as a hidden random variable has been given by [S. Allassonnière , (2007) 3-29]. They introduce a Bayesian approach and mixture of them to estimate deformable template models. A consistent stochastic algorithm has been introduced in [S. Allassonnière (in revision)] to face the problem encountered in [S. Allassonnière , (2007) 3-29] for the convergence of the estimation algorithm for the one component model in the presence of noise. We propose here to go on in this direction of using some "SAEM-like" algorithm to approximate the MAP estimator in the general Bayesian setting of mixture of deformable template models. We also prove the convergence of our algorithm toward a critical point of the penalised likelihood of the observations and illustrate this with handwritten digit images and medical images.
