Image Pyramid

Overview

This is a small Rust crate that facilitates quickly generating an image pyramid from a user-provided image.

• See OpenCV: Image Pyramids for an overview of the two most common pyramid types, Lowpass (AKA Gaussian) and Bandpass (AKA Laplacian).
• The Tomasi paper Lowpass and Bandpass Pyramids has an authoritative explanation as well.
• Wikipedia has a decent explanation of a steerable pyramid

Usage

See the crates.io page for installation instructions, then check out the examples directory for example code. Below is a simple illustrative example of computing a default pyramid (Gaussian where each level is half resolution).

use image_pyramid::*;

let image = todo!();
let pyramid = match ImagePyramid::create(&image, None) {
    Ok(pyramid) => pyramid,
    Err(e) => {
        eprintln!("Error creating image pyramid: {}", e);
        return;
    }
};
