Publisher's Synopsis
This book introduces the theory and applications of Markov Random fields in image processing and computer vision. Modelling images through the local interaction of Markov models has resulted in useful algorithms for problems in texture analysis, image synthesis, image restoration, image segmentation, surface reconstruction and integration of low-level visual modules. All of the contributors are leading researchers from the United States and Europe.;The book presents statistical modelling of two-and three-dimensional images; includes Markov random fields, Gibbs distribution, and simulated annealing explains integration or fusion of images; covers image segmentation, texture analysis, and image restoration using MRF models of context; gives a systematic development of algorithms for image processing, analysis, and computer vision and present parallel algorithms for image processing, analysis, and computer vision.
