ABSTRACT:
Under the present invention, an image is progressively blurred to yield a set of (progressive) scaling levels. Once blurred, the edges of the image are detected so that each image segment can be identified on each scaling level. Once the segments are identified, like segments (i.e., segments having a like edge/Gaussian operator) on successive scaling levels are linked to yield a lattice structure that represents the perceptual organization of the image.
