Abstract

This article performs Bayesian estimation of Gaussian Markov random fields. In particular, it is proposed to perform a spatial dependency analysis by means of a graph that characterizes the observed intensities of an image with a model widely used in spatial statistics and geostatistics known as the conditional autoregressive model (CAR). This model is useful for obtaining multivariate joint distributions from a random vector based on univariate conditional specifications. These conditional specifications are based on the Markov properties, so that the conditional distribution of a component of the random vector depends only on a set of neighbors, defined by the graph. Conditional autoregressive models are particular cases of random Markov fields and are used as \textit{a priori} distributions, which, combined with the information contained in the sample data (likelihood function), induce a \textit{a posteriori} distribution on which the estimate is based. The CAR model has a particular case called IAR, in which the \textit{a priori} distribution is not proper, in this article both models are applied making a comparison between them. All model parameters are estimated in a completely Bayesian environment, using the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm. The complete estimation procedures are illustrated and compared using various artificial examples. For these experiments, the CAR model and the IAR model performed very favorably with homogeneous images.
