Some pyramid techniques for image segmentation

This paper describes a collection of multiresolution, or “pyramid”, techniques for rapidly extracting global structures (features, regions, patterns) from an image. If implemented in parallel on suitable cellular pyramid hardware, these techniques require processing times on the order of the logarithm of the image diameter.
