Frame reconstruction of the Laplacian pyramid

چکیده
We study the Laplacian pyramid (LP) as a frame operator, and this reveals that the usual reconstruction is suboptimal. With orthogonal filters, the LP is shown to be a tight frame, thus the optimal linear reconstruction using the dual frame operator has a simple structure as symmetrical with the forward transform. For more general cases, we propose an efficient filter bank for reconstruction in the LP that is shown to perform better than the usual method. Numerical results indicate that gains of more than 1 dB are actually achieved.

Noise Processing for Simple Laplacian Pyramid Synthesis Based on Dual Frame Reconstruction
The Laplacian pyramid (LP) provides a frame expansion. Thus, there exist infinitely many synthesis operators which achieve perfect reconstruction in the absence of quantization. However, if the subbands are quantized in the open-loop mode then the dual frame synthesis operator, which is the pseudo-inverse of the analysis operator, minimizes the mean squared error (MSE) in the reconstruction. No...
متن کاملMultiple Image Fusion Using Laplacian Pyramid
Image fusion is an important visualization technique of integrating coherent spatial and temporal information into a compact form. Laplacian fusion is a process that combines regions of images from different sources into a single fused image based on a salience selection rule for each region. In this paper, we proposed an algorithmic approach using a Laplacian and Gaussian pyramid to better loc...

In 1983, Burt and Adelson introduced the Laplacian pyramid (LP) as a multiresolution representation for images. We study the LP using the frame theory, and this reveals that the usual reconstruction is suboptimal. We show that the LP with orthogonal filters is a tight frame, and thus, the optimal linear reconstruction using the dual frame operator has a simple structure that is symmetric with t...
متن کاملUnsupervised Representation Learning with Laplacian Pyramid Auto-encoders
Scale-space representation has been popular in computer vision community due to its theoretical foundation. The motivation for generating a scale-space representation of a given data set originates from the basic observation that real-world objects are composed of different structures at different scales. Hence, it’s reasonable to consider learning features with image pyramids generated by smoo...
متن کاملLaplacian Pyramid Reconstruction and Refinement for Semantic Segmentation
CNN architectures have terrific recognition performance but rely on spatial pooling which makes it difficult to adapt them to tasks that require dense, pixel-accurate labeling. This paper makes two contributions: (1) We demonstrate that while the apparent spatial resolution of convolutional feature maps is low, the high-dimensional feature representation contains significant sub-pixel localizat...
