Multispectral imagecontextualclassification using combination ofiterative MRFalgorithms5. Experiments and resultsTo test andd evaluate the proposed method, we presentthe resultss in 4 experiments with real image datacomparingg the values of ˆkβ for first, second and third-oforder neighborhood systems:a.) nuclearr magnetic resonance (NMR) images.b.) computerized tomography images.c.) labeled classified images.d.) Lena image.On the first experiment we considered a samplea multispectral NMR mango image, formed by T1, T2and P D bands, provided by Em<strong>br</strong>apa AgriculturalInstrumentation. These images have been used on thedevelopment of a non-invasive fruit quality assessmentsystem. In order to run the proposed method, we chosea mango transversal section P D band image withdimensionss of 256 x 256pixels, 255 gray levels (255classes). To test theestimation method againstdifferent types and levels of noise, we degraded theimage withh a signal dependent Poisson noise and aindependent additive gaussian noise, with zero mean2and σ = 0.02 . The images and obtained results areshown in Figure 5 andTable 1. Note that carefulexamination of the Poisson noise degraded imagereveals that clearer areas have more noise than darkareas. Thisis because <strong>br</strong>ighter areas have higher noiseFigure 5. NMR P D band mango imagesTable 1.

To acquire theimages, two X-ray sources and two γ-ray sources(Cesium and Americium) were used [9]. The X-rayenergies were 40keV and 85keV. The γ-ray were60keVV (Americium) and 662keV (Cesium).Onthe followinganalysis we considered one lowSNR ( Signal-to-Noise Ratio) image, contaminated withhigh levels of noise, due to the low exposuree timeduringdata acquisition (3 seconds of exposure) andanother smoother high SNR image, obtained with ahigherexposure time (20 secondss of exposure time),both images with size of 65 x65 pixels. The objectiveis to analyze the performance of the estimation methodon CT-images with different levels of noise.32
