Abstract: It is well known that stochastic models, such as MRF and AR model, suffer from their poor capability to describe complicated textures. By introducing filters into these random field models appears to be a new approach to overcome the problem. In this paper, we present a new model for texture analysis, which integrates filter theory into random field based on Maximum Entropy theory. And parameter estimation employing Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is proposed for this new model.
