Multiresolution transforms for object detection and for image transmission

Multiresolution transforms have been used with great effectiveness in many areas of astronomical image processing. Here we seek to extend their applicability in two directions. Firstly, we use such transforms to detect objects in fields containing point sources, or a mixture of point sources and lar...

Summary:Multiresolution transforms have been used with great effectiveness in many areas of astronomical image processing. Here we seek to extend their applicability in two directions. Firstly, we use such transforms to detect objects in fields containing point sources, or a mixture of point sources and large, extended objects. Secondly, we discuss the efficient transfer of (compressed) images using current World-Wide Web technology.
