Quantum fluctuation is introduced into the Markov random fields (MRF's) model for image restoration in the context of Baysian 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.
