Abstract

This paper investigates the application of variations of Stochastic Relaxation with Annealing (SRA) as proposed by Geman and Geman [1] to the Bayesian restoration of binary images corrupted by white noise. After a general review we present some specific prior models and show examples of their application. It appears that a proper selection of the prior model is critical for the success of the method. We obtained better results on artificial images which fitted the model closely than on real images for which there was no precise model.
