[Insight-users] EM segmentation with MRF

[Jimmy Wong]

Hi, dear insight-users,

If I want to simulate the image segmentation by using EM algorithm, Gaussian 
Mixture Model and Markov Random Filed, is any template available for this, 
no matter it is test version or not?

Another thing is, if I segment the image via a particular method, then what 
I have are the class labels? What kind of container I should use to store 
the labels if I want to use these labels in ITK toolkit for displaying 
segmented image, or constructing a mask or something like that?

You know, the particular algorithm or function is written by me, but I want 
it to be  compatible with ITK.

In a word, the second question is: for segmentation, we mainly treat with 
the intensity value? How can I extract the intensity value from the 
ImageReader or Image type data? And how can I recover the segmentation 
information or reuse the labels in ITK again? What kind of data structures 
should I use for the intensity value and class labels.

Thank you very much.
