A new approach to parameter estimation for Gibbs random fields
Haluk Derin, H. Elliott, J. Kuang · 2005
This paper presents a new approach for estimating the parameters of random fields characterized by Gibbs distributions. Unlike the commonly used "coding method", the parameter estimation procedure presented here involves the solution of a set of linear equations. We also present numerical and pictorial results on application of this estimation procedure on several Gibbs distributed images.
