Gaussian Image Pyramid

Detailed Description

Computes a Gaussian Image Pyramid from an input image.

This vision function creates the Gaussian image pyramid from the input image using the particular 5x5 Gaussian Kernel [R00068]:

\[ \mathbf{G}=\frac{1}{256} * \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 4 & 6 & 4 & 1 \\ 4 & 16 & 24 & 16 & 4 \\ 6 & 24 & 36 & 24 & 6 \\ 4 & 16 & 24 & 16 & 4 \\ 1 & 4 & 6 & 4 & 1 \\ \end{vmatrix} \]

on each level of the pyramid then scales the image to the next level using VX_INTERPOLATION_NEAREST_NEIGHBOR [R00069]. For the Gaussian pyramid, level 0 shall always have the same resolution and contents as the input image [R00070]. Pyramids configured with one of the following level scaling must be supported [R00071]:

• VX_SCALE_PYRAMID_HALF
• VX_SCALE_PYRAMID_ORB
