The notion of a multiresolution support is introduced. This is a seque
nce of Boolean images related to significant pixels at each of a numbe
r of resolution levels, The multiresolution support is then used for n
oise suppression, in the context of image filtering, or iterative imag
e restoration. Algorithmic details, and a range of practical examples,
illustrate this approach. (C) 1995 Academic Press, Inc.
