Abstract

this article is to discuss general reasons for this prominence of MCMC, to give an overview of a variety of image models and the use made of MCMC methods in dealing with them, to describe two applications in more detail, To appear as a chapter in the book Practical Markov chain Monte Carlo, edited by W. Gilks, S. Richardson and D. Spiegelhalter, published by Chapman and Hall.
