ABSTRACT:
A method for segmenting a digitized image includes providing a digitized image comprising a plurality of intensities defined on a lattice of pixels, initializing a Bayesian prior probability and likelihood function for segmenting said image, decomposing said image into a union of a plurality of subspaces wherein each subspace is a product of k-partitions, and distributing a plurality Bayesian posterior probability functions over said subspaces, updating said Bayesian posterior probability functions via a data-driven Markov-chain, and selecting a subset of said Bayesian posterior probability functions that approximate a true Bayesian posterior probability function.
