Journal ArticleDOI
Baum's forward-backward algorithm revisited
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the conversion of Baum's computation of joint likelihoods into the computation of posterior probabilities results in essentially the same algorithm, except for the presence of a scaling factor suggested by Levinson et al. (1983) on rather heuristic grounds.
BookDOI
Pattern recognition theory and applications
Pierre A. Devijver,Josef Kittler +1 more
TL;DR: Current research emphasis in pattern recognition is on designing efficient algorithms, studying small sample properties of various estimators and decision rules, implementing the algorithms on novel computer architecture, and incorporating context and domain-specific knowledge in decision making.

Connected components in binary images: The detection problem
TL;DR: In this article, an algorithmic approach to the real-time detection of connected components in binary pictures acquired in a raster-scan fashion is presented, down to the code level.
Book ChapterDOI
Probabilistic labeling in a hidden second order markov mesh
TL;DR: This paper addresses the pixel labeling problem under the assumption that contextual information in the picture is encoded in the transition probabilities of a second order Markov mesh random field and derives linear-time algorithms for computing the joint likelihood of the pixel label and past and present image measurements.
