MULTISPLINES AND ADAPTIVE SCALE-SPACE ATOM SELECTION FOR IMAGE REPRESENTATION

We propose a new stochastic process that we use for modeling an image. We also propose criterion for function estimation and derive the algo rithm that yields the optimal estimate. The algorithm chooses scale-sp ace atoms in an adaptive manner as opposed to the multiresolntion appr oach, which uses all scale-space atoms at any given resolution. Experi mental results of our technique are also included.
