abstract = {In this paper, a class of Random Field model, defined on a
multiresolution array is used in the segmentation of gray level and
textured images. The novel feature of one form of the model is that it
is able to segment images containing unknown numbers of regions, where
there may be significant variation of properties within each region.
The estimation algorithms used are stochastic, but because of the
multiresolution representation, are fast computationally, requiring
only a few iterations per pixel to converge to accurate results, with
error rates of 1-2 percent across a range of image structures and
textures. The addition of a simple boundary process gives accurate
results even at low resolutions, and consequently at very low
computational cost.},
