Abstract

We review multilevel hierarchies under two special aspects: their potential for abstraction and for storing discrete representations. Motivated by claims to 'bridge the representational gap between image and model features' and by the growing importance of topological properties we discuss several extensions to dual graph pyramids and to topological maps: structural simplification should preserve important topological properties and content abstraction could be guided by an external knowledge base.
