The paper introduces an algorithm which allows the automatic segmentation of multi channel magnetic resonance images. We extended the Expectation Maximization-Mean Field Approximation Segmenter, to include Local Prior Probability Maps. Thereby our algorithm estimates the bias field in the image whil...
