In image processing problems density models are often used to characterise the local image statistics. In this paper a layered network structure is proposed, which consists of a large number of overlapping mixture distributions. This type of network is called a partitioned mixture distribution (PMD), and it may be used to apply mixture distribution models simultaneously to many different patches of an image.
