Abstract

We describe a new multi-layered representation technique for images. An image is encoded as the superposition of one main approximation, and a sequence of residuals. The strength of the multi-layered method comes from the fact that we use different bases to encode the main approximation and the residuals. The different bases complement each others: -some of the basis functions will give reasonable account of the large trend of the data, while others will catch the local transients, or the oscillatory patterns. By selecting different bases, we allow different features to be discovered in the image.
