Quantum fluctuation is introduced into the Markov random fields (MRF's) model
for image restoration in the context of Bayesian approach. We investigate the
dependence of the quantum fluctuation on the quality of BW image restoration by
making use of statistical mechanics. We find that the maximum posterior
marginal (MPM) estimate based on the quantum fluctuation gives a fine
restoration in comparison with the maximum a posterior (MAP) estimate or the
thermal fluctuation based MPM estimate.Comment: 19 pages, 9 figures, 1 table, RevTe
