Abstract

This paper presents a new finite mixture model based on the Multinomial Dirichlet distribution (MDD). For the estimation of the parameters of this mixture we propose an unsupervised algorithm based on the Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Fisher scoring methods. This mixture is used to produce a new texture model. Experimental results concern texture images summarizing and are reported on the Vistex texture image database from the MIT Media Lab.
