Description: This the MATLAB code that was used to produce the figures and tables in Section V of
F. Forbes and G. Fort, Combining Monte Carlo and mean-field like methods for inference
in Hidden Markov Random Fields, Accepted for publication in IEEE Trans. on Image
Processing, 2006.

MATLAB has the capability of running functions written in C. The files which hold the source
for these functions are called MEX-Files. Some functions of our codes are written in C.
The purpose of this software is to implement the MCVEM algorithm, described in the paper
mentioned above, when applied to Image Segmentation. MCVEM consists in combining approximation
techniques - based on variational EM - and simulation techniques - based on MCMC
-.
This software is the first version that is made publicly available.
