Stochastic algorithm for bayesian mixture effect template estimation
ESAIM: Probability and Statistics, Tome 14 (2010), pp. 382-408.

The estimation of probabilistic deformable template models in computer vision or of probabilistic atlases in Computational Anatomy are core issues in both fields. A first coherent statistical framework where the geometrical variability is modelled as a hidden random variable has been given by [S. Allassonnière et al., J. Roy. Stat. Soc. 69 (2007) 3-29]. They introduce a bayesian approach and mixture of them to estimate deformable template models. A consistent stochastic algorithm has been introduced in [S. Allassonnière et al. (in revision)] to face the problem encountered in [S. Allassonnière et al., J. Roy. Stat. Soc. 69 (2007) 3-29] for the convergence of the estimation algorithm for the one component model in the presence of noise. We propose here to go on in this direction of using some “SAEM-like” algorithm to approximate the MAP estimator in the general bayesian setting of mixture of deformable template models. We also prove the convergence of our algorithm toward a critical point of the penalised likelihood of the observations and illustrate this with handwritten digit images and medical images.
