Abstract
As an alternative to the true pyramidal arrays of processors other specialized hardware solutions have been proposed to exploit multiresolution approaches. Among these the most popular is the family of pipeline architectures special- ized for decimation and expansion of the image size. The major systems in this class are PVM, and HCL/PIPE. These systems which are designed to perform foveation and tracking processes efficiently, are introduced in some detail.
