Markov Random Fields and Gibbs Measures
نویسنده
چکیده
A Markov random field is a name given to a natural generalization of the well known concept of a Markov chain. It arrises by looking at the chain itself as a very simple graph, and ignoring the directionality implied by “time”. A Markov chain can then be seen as a chain graph of stochastic variables, where each variable has the property that it is independent of all the others (the future and past) given its two neighbors.

Projecting Markov Random Field Parameters for Fast Mixing
Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms are simple and extremely powerful techniques to sample from almost arbitrary distributions. The flaw in practice is that it can take a large and/or unknown amount of time to converge to the stationary distribution. This paper gives sufficient conditions to guarantee that univariate Gibbs sampling on Markov Random Fields (MRFs) will be fast mixing, in a...
متن کاملStrong Spatial Mixing for Binary Markov Random Fields
The remarkable contribution by Weitz gives a general framework to establish the strong spatial mixing property of Gibbs measures. In light of Weitz’s work, we prove the strong spatial mixing for binary Markov random fields under the condition that the ‘external field’ is uniformly large or small by turning them into a corresponding Ising model. Our proof is done through a ‘path’ characterizatio...
متن کاملAdaptive color image segmentation using Markov random fields
A new framework for color image segmentation is introduced generalizing the concepts of point-based and spatially-based methods. This framework is based on Markov Random Fields using a Continuous Gibbs Sampler. The Markov Random Fields approach allows for a rigorous computational framework where local and global spatial constraints can be globally optimized. Using a Continuous Gibbs Sampler ena...
متن کاملOn the Selection of Markov Random Field Texture Models
The problem of selecting pair-potentials of finite range for Gibbs random fields is considered as an important step in modelling multi-textured images. In a decision theoretic set-up, the Bayesian procedure is approximated by using Laplace's method for asymptotic expansion of integrals. Certain frequentist properties of the selection procedure are investigated. In particular, its consistency is...
متن کاملMarkov Random Fields and Gibbs Sampling for Image Denoising
This project applies Gibbs Sampling based on different Markov Random Fields (MRF) structures to solve the image denoising problem. Compared with methods like gradient ascent, one important advantage that Gibbs Sampling has is that it provides balances between exploration and exploitation. This project also tested behaviors of different MRF structures, such as the high-order MRFs, various loss f...
