This paper introduces a novel method for the construction of reduced pyrami
ds with interpolation tilters adapted to the orientation of local image fea
tures. This construction establishes very efficient interpolative lossless
compression, having also the added advantage of producing lossy replicas of
the original, which, at lower resolutions lack undesirable artifacts near
edges.
