A Pyramid Framework for Early Vision Multiresolutional Computer Visi

Biological visual systems employ massively parallel processing to perform real-world visual tasks in real time. A key to this remarkable performance seems to be that biological systems construct representations of their visual image data at multiple scale

Preface

Vision works as a set of integrated processes that detect and extract information from the visual field, construct hypotheses, weigh hypotheses, build descriptions and control motor processes, some of which operate the vision sensory appar
