Title:

A Survey of Multiresolution Analysis

Abstract:

Multiresolution analysis using wavelets is a useful tool (both inside and outside of computer graphics) for hierarchically decomposing functions in ways that are efficient and mathematically sound. I will present the basic theory and a quick survey of applications mostly involving image processing.
