In this paper we present a method for adding Hidden Markov Models. The main advantages of our method are that it does not require the data the models had been trained on, allows a change in the number of components, does not assume independence of the components to be added and is resistant to the order in which the training data arrives. We assessed the method in the experiments with synthetic data, which showed good accuracy. Finally, we present an application in computer vision.
