A Wavelet Approach to Foveating Images

Motivated by applications of foveated images in visualization, we introduce the foveation transform of an image. We study the basic properties of these transforms using the multiresolution framework of Mallat. We also consider practical methods of realizing such transforms. In particular, we introduce a new method for foveating images based on wavelets. Preliminary experimental results are shown.
