Multi-scale image analysis on the CNN Universal Machine

Algorithms for generating multi-scale representations of gray-scale images are presented. A number of possible approaches are described to produce low-pass and band-pass decompositions using simple analogic algorithms. It is also shown how the wavelet transform can be approximated with a similar technique and be used to obtain multi-level descriptions of the input data. This paper presents some methods how the cellular neural network (CNN) Universal Machine can be used effectively for generating multi-scale representations of gray-scale imagery.
