ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems for segmenting images, wherein the image pixels are categorized into a plurality of subsets using one or more indexes, then a log-likelihood function of one or more of the indexes is determined, and one or more maps are generated based on the determination of the log-likelihood function of one or more of the indexes.
