Abstract
We describe a probabilistic model representing piecewise-homogeneous digital (raster) gray- scale textured images as samples of certain Markov random field with short- and long-range pairwise interactions between the signals (gray-scale levels and labels of homogeneous regions) in the pixels. The model is given by a Gibbs probability distribution specified by a sum of terms which gives a total strength of the interaction. Each term defines the probability of the signal values in a pixel or a pair of the pixels in superim-posed image and region map. Unknown parameters of the model can be estimated by using a stochastic approximation technique. Several results in generating and segmenting the textured images are presented.
