A MAP Estimation Algorithm Using IIR Recursive Filters

The MAP method is a wide spread estimation technique used in many signal processing problems, e.g., image restoration, denoising and 3D reconstruction. When there is a large number of variables to estimate, the MAP method often leads to a huge set of linear or non-linear equations which must be numerically solved using time consuming algorithms.
