MRFSEG+GAMIXTURE Software Bundle

MRFSEG+GAMIXTURE is a collection of tools implementing a flexible voxel classification framework. The framework is based on a novel genetic algorithm based finite mixture model (GAMIXTURE) and a standard 3-D Markov random field (MRF) based on the iterative conditional modes (ICM) algorithm (MRFSEG).

Features

MRFSEG is programmed to automatically classify voxel into tissue types in 3-D images while modeling the spatial interactions of the voxel labels by an MRF.
GAMIXTURE is a program that implements a new genetic algorithm based finite mixture model (FMM) parameter estimation scheme. This allows for robustly finding parameters for an almost arbitrary 1-d FMM. However, at the moment Gaussian densities are used to model the pure tissue types.
