Abstract
We have investigated a combination of statistical modelling and expectation maximisation for a texture based approach to the segmentation of mammographic images. Texture modelling is based on the implicit incorporation of spatial information. Statistical modelling is used for data generalisation and noise removal purposes. Expectation maximisation modelling of the spatial information in combination with the statistical modelling are compared to expectation maximisation modelling based on single grey-level values. The developed segmentation results are used for two specific applications which are registration of mammographic images and mammographic risk assessment.
