Piecewise Constant Restoration

 

In piecewise constant restoration, consists of discrete values. The task is to recover the true configuration f from observed image d. This is akin to region segmentation.   because f in effect partitions the set of lattice sites into mutually exclusive regions. In the MAP-MRF framework, the optimal f is that minimizes the posterior energy.
