Abstract(in English) On the theory of image restoration, one tries to reconstruct the original image from the image to which a noise is added because of a channel or surrounding environment. A general strategy of it is to use the framework of Bayesian estimation. Under that framework, information of original imageis represented by probability distribution. When considering more realistic model of original image, one should treat the boundary of the pixel value (gray scale, color, brightness, etc) correctly. The reason is that the pixel value is defined by finite region, e.g, white-to-black. However, when using the Gaussian model that is a conventional analog image model, probability density is positive outside the boundary. To solve this problem, we introduce a truncated Gaussian model (TG model). In this model, distribution is cut at upper and lower bound, and added a weight at the boundary as δ peak. In order to analyze such a nonlinear model, we introduce a generalized prior probability. This prior includes the Gaussian, Ising, Q-spin, and TG model as a special cases. Moreover, we can analytically obtain average performance of the generalized model by using the replica method. Thus, we can choose an appropriate model depending on statistical property of the image.
