There is now a clear interest and a necessity to be able to analyse data coming in the form of, or closely related to, images. Often these observations reveal a stochastic component or behavior in the image. In the past 15 years statisticians became more and more interested by the problems this raise. Appropriate stochastic models and new inferential tools were proposed or adapted. The fact that probability models permit to incorporate scene-specific knowledge in the processing of images begins to be exploited.
