Patent ID: 8155462

Claim:
A computer system with an optimal Laplacian pyramid processing system (OLaPPS), comprising: a computer configured to store and manipulate uni- and multi-dimensional discrete digital signals; and a decimation filter component of a Laplacian pyramid processing system associated with said computer for processing digital signal elements selected from a set of dimensions from one or more of the uni- and multi-dimensional discrete digital signals, the decimation filter component having a high-resolution signal as an input and a decimation signal as an output; and an interpolation filter component of a Laplacian pyramid processing system associated with said computer for processing digital signal elements selected from a set of dimensions from one or more of the uni- and multi-dimensional discrete digital signals, the interpolation filter component having the decimation signal as an input and a reconstructed signal as an output, wherein the decimation signal retains maximum energy and the reconstructed signal has minimum mean square error relative to the original high resolution signal.
