Abstract: The large computational demand is one huge drawback of Bayesian Mixture Models in image segmentation tasks. We describe a novel approach to reduce the computational demand in this scenario and increase the performance by using superpixels. Superpixels provide a natural approach to the reduction of the computational complexity and to build a texture model in the image domain. Instead of relying on a Gaussian mixture model as segmentation model, we propose to use a more robust model: a mixture of multiple scaled t-distributions. The parameters of the novel mixture model are estimated with Markov chain Monte Carlo in order to surpass local minima during estimation and to gain insight into the uncertainty of the resulting segmentation. Finally, an evaluation of the proposed segmentation is performed on the publicly available Berkeley Segmentation database (BSD500), compared to competing methods, and the benefit of including texture is emphasised.
