Bayesian image analysis with coloured Voronoi tessellations and a view to applications in reservoir modelling

by:

Abstract

A new flexible prior for Bayesian image analysis and reservoir modelling is defined in terms of interacting coloured Voronoi cells described by a certain nearest-neighbour Markov point process. This prior can be defined in both 2 and 3 (as well as higher) dimensions, and simple MCMC algorithms can be used for drawing inference from the posterior distribution. Various 2D and 3D applications are considered.
