abstract = {This paper presents a new approach to multi-class thresholding-based segmentation. It considerably improves existing thresholding methods by efficiently modeling non-Gaussian and multi-modal class-conditional distributions using mixtures of generalized Gaussian distributions (MoGG). The proposed approach seamlessly: (1) extends the standard Otsu's method to arbitrary numbers of thresholds and (2) extends the Kittler and Illingworth minimum error thresholding to non-Gaussian and multi-modal class-conditional data. MoGGs enable efficient representation of heavy-tailed data and multi-modal histograms with flat or sharply shaped peaks. Experiments on synthetic data and real-world image segmentation show the performance of the proposed approach with comparison to recent state-of-the-art techniques. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

abstract = {In this paper, we address the texture retrieval problem using wavelet distribution. We propose a new statistical scheme to represent the marginal distribution of the wavelet coefficients using a mixture of generalized Gaussian distributions (MoGG). The MoGG allows to capture a wide range of histogram shapes, which provides a better description of texture and enhances texture discrimination. We propose a similarity measurement based on Kullback-Leibler distance (KLD), which is calculated using MCMC Metropolis-Hastings sampling algorithm. We show that our approach yields better texture retrieval results than previous methods using only a single probability density function (pdf) for wavelet representation, or texture energy distribution. © 2010 IEEE.},
