Abstract

In the literature an image scale-space is usually defined as the solution of an initial value problem described by a PDE, such as a linear or nonlinear diffusion equation. Alternatively, scale-spaces can be defined in an axiomatic way starting from a fixed-scale image operator (e.g. a linear convolution or a morphological erosion) and a group of scalings. The goal of this paper is to explain the relation between these two, seemingly very different, approaches.
