Markov Random Fields for Image Modelling & Analysis

  • Chapter
Modelling and Application of Stochastic Processes

Abstract

This chapter deals with the problem of image modelling through the use of 2D Markov Random Field (MRF). The MRF’s are parametric models with a noncausal structure where the various dependencies over the plane is described in all directions. We first show how the MRF’s are used as texture image models, region geometry models, as well as edge models.Then we show how they have been successfully used for image classification, surface inspection, image restoration, and image segmentation.
