A new representative criterion for image resampling based on bootstrap and plug in algorithm

In this paper we intend to introduce a new representativeness criterion of the Bootstrap sample for images segmentation. Using the plug-in method in order to estimate probability density functions (pdf), we present a robust and stable criterion based on L2 distance between the estimated probability density from the bootstrap sample and the empirical probability density of the image. This criterion is tested on satellite images.
