	%X This paper introduces a novel approach to estimate the
clique potentials of Gibbs Markov random field (GMRF) models
using the Support Vector Machines (SVM) algorithm and the Mean
Field (MF) theory. The proposed approach is based on modeling the
potential function associated with each clique shape of the GMRF
model as a Gaussian-shaped kernel. In turn, the energy function of
the GMRF will be in the form of a weighted sum of Gaussian
kernels. This formulation of the GMRF model urges the use of the
SVM with the Mean Field theory applied for its learning for
estimating the energy function. The approach has been tested on
synthetic texture images and is shown to provide satisfactory results
in retrieving the synthesizing parameters.
