EM algorithm implementation for solving Gaussian Mixture Models, particularly suitable for object segmentation in image processing applications with code-based parameter optimization

Detailed Documentation

The EM (Expectation-Maximization) algorithm provides an effective methodology for estimating parameters in Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs). This approach proves particularly valuable in image processing applications, especially for object segmentation tasks. The algorithm operates through iterative E-steps (calculating posterior probabilities using Bayesian inference) and M-steps (updating model parameters via maximum likelihood estimation). By implementing the EM algorithm, developers can achieve more precise segmentation and extraction of different objects within images, leading to enhanced accuracy in image processing outcomes. The implementation typically involves initializing Gaussian component parameters, computing responsibility matrices, and iteratively refining mean vectors and covariance matrices until convergence.
