aws.segment {aws} | R Documentation |
The function implements a modification of the adaptive weights smoothing algorithm for segmentation into three classes. The
aws.segment(y, level, delta = 0, hmax = NULL, hpre = NULL, varmodel = "Constant", lkern = "Triangle", scorr = 0, ladjust = 1, wghts = NULL, u = NULL, varprop = 0.1, ext = 0, graph = FALSE, demo = FALSE, fov=NULL)
y |
y contains the observed response data. dim(y) determines the dimensionality and extend of the grid design. |
level |
center of second class |
delta |
half width of second class |
hmax |
hmax specifies the maximal bandwidth. Defaults to hmax=250, 12, 5 for dd=1, 2, 3 , respectively. |
hpre |
Describe hpre Bandwidth used for an initial nonadaptive estimate. The first estimate
of variance parameters is obtained from residuals with respect to this estimate. |
varmodel |
Implemented are "Constant", "Linear" and "Quadratic" refering to a polynomial model of degree 0 to 2. |
lkern |
character: location kernel, either "Triangle", "Plateau", "Quadratic", "Cubic" or "Gaussian" |
scorr |
The vector scorr allows to specify a first order correlations of the noise for each coordinate direction,
defaults to 0 (no correlation). |
ladjust |
factor to increase the default value of lambda |
wghts |
wghts specifies the diagonal elements of a weight matrix to adjust for different distances between grid-points
in different coordinate directions, i.e. allows to define a more appropriate metric in the design space. |
u |
a "true" value of the regression function, may be provided to
report risks at each iteration. This can be used to test the propagation condition with u=0 |
varprop |
Small variance estimates are replaced by varprop times the mean variance. |
ext |
Intermediate results are fixed if the test statistics exceeds the critical value by ext . |
graph |
If graph=TRUE intermediate results are illustrated after each iteration step. Defaults to graph=FALSE . |
demo |
If demo=TRUE the function pauses after each iteration. Defaults to demo=FALSE . |
fov |
Field of view. Size of region (sample size) to adjust for in multiscale testing. |
The image is segmented into three parts by performing multiscale tests
of the hypotheses H1
value >= level - delta
and H2 value <= level + delta
.
Pixel where the first hypotesis is rejected are classified as -1
(segment 1)
while rejection of H2 results in classification 1
(segment 3).
Pixel where neither H1 or H2 are rejected ar assigned to a value 0
(segment 2). Critical values for the tests are adjusted for smoothness at the different scales inspected in the iteration process using results from multiscale testing,
see e.g. Duembgen and Spokoiny (2001). Critical values also depend on the
size of the region of interest specified in parameter fov
.
Within segment 2 structural adaptive smoothing is performed while if a pair of pixel belongs to segment 1 or segment 3 the corresponding weight will be nonadaptive.
