Presents a new algorithm for segmentation of noisy or textured images using the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm for estimating parameters of the probability mass function of the pixel class labels and the maximization of the posterior marginals (MPM) criterion for the segmentation operation. A Markov random field (MRF) model is used for the pixel class labels. The authors present experimental results demonstrating the use of the new algorithm on synthetic images and medical imagery
