TLDR
The paper applies the derivation and the implementation of an expectation-maximisation algorithm, for the estimation of mixtures of Riemannian Gaussian distributions, to the problem of texture classification, in computer vision, showing that it yields significantly better performance, in comparison to recent approaches.Abstract:
Data which lie in the space $\mathcal{P}_{m\,}$, of $m \times m$ symmetric positive definite matrices, (sometimes called tensor data), play a fundamental role in applications including medical imaging, computer vision, and radar signal processing. An open challenge, for these applications, is to find a class of probability distributions, which is able to capture the statistical properties of data in $\mathcal{P}_{m\,}$, as they arise in real-world situations. The present paper meets this challenge by introducing Riemannian Gaussian distributions on $\mathcal{P}_{m\,}$. Distributions of this kind were first considered by Pennec in $2006$. However, the present paper gives an exact expression of their probability density function for the first time in existing literature. This leads to two original contributions. First, a detailed study of statistical inference for Riemannian Gaussian distributions, uncovering the connection between maximum likelihood estimation and the concept of Riemannian centre of mass, widely used in applications. Second, the derivation and implementation of an expectation-maximisation algorithm, for the estimation of mixtures of Riemannian Gaussian distributions. The paper applies this new algorithm, to the classification of data in $\mathcal{P}_{m\,}$, (concretely, to the problem of texture classification, in computer vision), showing that it yields significantly better performance, in comparison to recent approaches.read more

Riemannian Gaussian Distributions on the Space of Symmetric Positive Definite Matrices
TL;DR: In this paper, a Riemannian Gaussian distribution was proposed for the classification of data in the space of symmetric positive definite matrices. But the distribution was not defined in terms of the probability density function.

A fixed-point algorithm for estimating power means of positive definite matrices
TL;DR: A general fixed point algorithm (MPM) is provided and it is shown that its convergence rate for p = ±0.5 deteriorates very little with the number and dimension of points given as input, much more than the gradient descent algorithm usually employed to estimate the geometric mean.
