Gaussian Scale Space, Poisson Scale Space, Scale Space Axiomatics, Holomorphic Semigroups
We consider alternative scale space representations beyond the well-established Gaussian case that satisfy all “reason able” axioms. One of these turns out to be subject to a first order pseudo partial differential equation equivalent to the Dirichlet problem on the upper half plane {(x, s) ∈ Rd × R | s > 0}. We investigate this so-called Poisson scale space and show that it is indeed a viable alternative to Gaussian scale space. Poisson and Gaussian scale space are related via a one-parameter class of operationally well defined intermediate representations generated by a frac tional power of (minus) the spatial Laplace operator.
