Freeman Image information occurs at all spatial scales

Freeman Image pyramids
4
Freeman The Gaussian pyramid Smooth with gaussians, because – a gaussian*gaussian=another gaussian Gaussians are low pass filters, so representation is redundant.

Gaussian pyramids used for up- or down- sampling images. Multi-resolution image analysis – Look for an object over various spatial scales – Coarse-to-fine image processing: form blur estimate or the motion analysis on very low- resolution image, upsample and repeat. Often a successful strategy for avoiding local minima in complicated estimation tasks.

Freeman The Laplacian Pyramid Synthesis – Compute the difference between upsampled Gaussian pyramid level and Gaussian pyramid level. – band pass filter - each level represents spatial frequencies (largely) unrepresented at other level.
