This paper introduces a new generalization of scale-space and pyramids, which combines statistical modeling with a spatial representation. The representation uses the familiar concept of multiple resolutions, but applied to a Gaussian mixture representation of the image - hence the title MGMM. It is shown that MGMM can approximate any probability density. Examples show how MGMM can be applied to problems such as segmentation and motion analysis.
