Multiple bandpass filters in image processing

A system of bandpass filters, modelled on the early mechanisms of human vision, is described which provides a simple means to eliminate blur and noise from an image. The system automatically adjusts itself to suit local signal conditions in an image, without prior knowledge of signal statistics.
