Investigation on Gauss-Markov Image Modeling

Image modeling is a foundation for many image processing applications. The compound Gauss-Markov (CGM) image model has been proven useful in picture restoration for natural images. In contrast, other Markov Random Fields (MRF) such as Gaussian MRF models are specialized on segmentation for texture image. The CGM image is restored in two steps iteratively: restoring the line field by the assumed image field and restoring the image field by the just computed line field.
The line fields are most important for a successful CGM modeling. A convincing line fields should be fair on both fields: horizontal and vertical lines. The working order and update occasions have great effects on the results of line fields in iterative computation procedures. The above two techniques are the basic for our research in finding the best modeling for CGM. Besides, we impose an extra condition for a line to exist to compensate the bias of line fields. This condition is based upon a requirement of a brightness contrast on the line field.
Our best modeling is verified by the effect of image restoration in visual quality and numerical values for natural images. Furthermore, an artificial image generated by CGM is tested to prove that our best modeling is correct.
