In this paper, we consider the super-resolution image reconstruction problem. We propose a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approach to find the maximum a posterior probability (MAP) estimation of the unknown high-resolution image. Firstly, Gaussian Markov random field (GMRF) is exploited for modeling the prior probability distribution of the unknown high-resolution image. Then, a MCMC technique (in particular, the Gibbs sampler) is introduced to generate samples from the posterior probability distribution to compute the MAP estimation of the unknown high-resolution image, which is obtained as the mean of the samples. Moreover, we derive a bound on the convergence time of the proposed MCMC approach. Finally, the experimental results are presented to verify the superior performance of the proposed approach and the validity of the proposed bound.
