    Abstract

    A novel bias correction technique is proposed based on the estimation of the parameters of a polynomial bias field directly from image data. The procedure overcomes difficulties known from homomor-phic filtering or from techniques assuming an initial presegmented image. The only parameters are a set of expected class means and the standard deviation. Applications to various MR images illustrate the performance.
