It is well-known that the EM algorithm generally converges to a local maximum likelihood estimate. However, there have been many evidences to show that the EM algorithm can converge correctly to the true parameters as long as the overlap of Gaussians in the sample data is small enough.

This paper demonstrates how the EM algorithm can be used for learning and matching mixtures of point distribution models. We make two contributions. First, we show how shape-classes can be learned in an unsupervised manner. We present a fast procedure for training point distribution models using the
