Updating Categorical Soil Maps Using Limited Survey Data by Bayesian Markov Chain Cosimulation

Figure 1

Neighborhood structures with six nearest neighbors and the sequential Bayesian updating process in basic Markov chain random fields: (a) assuming to be the last visited location; (b) assuming the last visited location is far away (outside the neighborhood). Data interactions across the uninformed location being estimated are ignored according to the Markov property.
