State-of-the-art research on MRFs, successful MRF applications, and advanced topics for future study. This volume demonstrates the power of the Markov random fi

Gaussian Markov Random Field (GMRF) models are most widely used in spatial statistics - a very active area of research in which few up-to-date reference works a

In this book we study Markov random functions of several variables. What is traditionally meant by the Markov property for a random process (a random function o

Markov random field (MRF) theory provides a basis for modeling contextual constraints in visual processing and interpretation. It enables us to develop optimal

The study of Markov random fields has brought exciting new problems to probability theory which are being developed in parallel with basic investigation in othe
