(eng): The method for complete mixture initialization based on a product kernel estimate of probability density function is proposed for mixture estimation using EM-algorithm. The mixture components are assumed to correspond to local maxima of optimaly smoothed kernel density estimate. The gradient method is used for local extrema finding. As the last step, agglomerative hiearchical clustering methods merges closest components together. A comparison to scale-space approaches is given on examples.
