The scale space representation of a signal obtained by Gaussian smoothing satisfies a number of special properties, scale-space axioms, which make it into a special form of multi-scale representation. There are, however, also other types of "multi-scale approaches" in the areas of computer vision, image processing and signal processing, in particular the notion of wavelets. The purpose of this article is to describe a few of these approaches: ==Scale-space theory for one-dimensional signals== For ''one-dimensional signals'', there exists quite a well-developed theory for continuous and discrete kernels that guarantee that new local extrema or zero-crossings cannot be created by a convolution operation.〔(Lindeberg, T., "Scale-space for discrete signals," PAMI(12), No. 3, March 1990, pp. 234-254. )〕 For ''continuous signals'', it holds that all scale-space kernels can be decomposed into the following sets of primitive smoothing kernels: * the ''Gaussian kernel'' : where , * ''truncated exponential'' kernels (filters with one real pole in the ''s''-plane): :: if and 0 otherwise where :: if and 0 otherwise where , * translations, * rescalings. For ''discrete signals'', we can, up to trivial translations and rescalings, decompose any discrete scale-space kernel into the following primitive operations: * the ''discrete Gaussian kernel'' :: where where are the modified Bessel functions of integer order, * ''generalized binomial kernels'' corresponding to linear smoothing of the form : where : where , * ''first-order recursive filters'' corresponding to linear smoothing of the form : where : where , * the one-sided ''Poisson kernel'' : for where : for where . From this classification, it is apparent that it we require a continuous semi-group structure, there are only three classes of scale-space kernels with a continuous scale parameter; the Gaussian kernel which forms the scale-space of continuous signals, the discrete Gaussian kernel which forms the scale-space of discrete signals and the time-causal Poisson kernel that forms a temporal scale-space over discrete time. If we on the other hand sacrifice the continuous semi-group structure, there are more options: For discrete signals, the use of generalized binomial kernels provides a formal basis for defining the smoothing operation in a pyramid. For temporal data, the one-sided truncated exponential kernels and the first-order recursive filters provide a way to define ''time-causal scale-spaces'' 〔(Richard F. Lyon. "Speech recognition in scale space," Proc. of 1987 ICASSP. San Diego, March, pp. 29.3.14, 1987. )〕〔(Lindeberg, T. and Fagerstrom, F.: Scale-space with causal time direction, Proc. 4th European Conference on Computer Vision, Cambridge, England, April 1996. Springer-Verlag LNCS Vol 1064, pages 229--240. )〕 that allow for efficient numerical implementation and respect causality over time without access to the future. The first-order recursive filters also provide a framework for defining recursive approximations to the Gaussian kernel that in a weaker sense preserve some of the scale-space properties.〔(Young, I.I., van Vliet, L.J.: Recursive implementation of the Gaussian filter, Signal Processing, vol. 44, no. 2, 1995, 139-151. )〕〔(Deriche, R: Recursively implementing the Gaussian and its derivatives, INRIA Research Report 1893, 1993. )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Multi-scale approaches」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
