LSUs of Figure 2 are equivalently modeled by HMMs. States correspond to distinct nodes of the STG subgraph; transition probabilities are computed according to the relative frequency of the transitions between clusters, and shots are the possible observation set. The HMM initial states have been indicated with a double circle.
