Am. Murching et Jw. Woods, ESTIMATION OF SHAPE PARAMETER FOR GENERALIZED GAUSSIAN DISTRIBUTION IN SUBBAND DECOMPOSITIONS OF VIDEO - COMMENT, IEEE transactions on circuits and systems for video technology, 5(6), 1995, pp. 570-570
In the above paper, the authors propose a method to estimate the shape
parameter for a generalized Gaussian probability density function to
be fitted to the subbands of a video signal. Their method, which uses
certain moments of the subband histogram, has in fact already been pre
sented sme years ago by Mallat.
