Dynamic textures clustering using a hierarchical Pitman-Yor process mixture of Dirichlet distributions

This paper proposes a hierarchical Pitman-Yor (HPY) process mixture of Dirichlet distributions. It can be viewed as an extension of our previous works that have considered Dirich-let process mixtures of Dirichlet distributions (i.e. infinite Dirichlet mixture models). The proposed model is learned via a variational Bayes approach and applied to the challenging problem of dynamic textures clustering.
