SEMINARIESCHEMA FÖR MATEMATISK STATISTIK Fredag 3/5 15.15 David Nott 1996 Department of Mathematics, University of Queensland: Image modelling with excursion sets Abstract: The set of all points where a random field {Y(t), t in R^N} is not less than a level u in R is called the u-level excursion set of Y. We discuss the use of excursion sets and contours of random fields as models for image data. Markov chain Monte Carlo methods can be used in implementing the EM algorithm for parameter estimation in these kind of models. Lokal: Rum 227 i Mattehuset. Björn Holmquist 046-2228546
