Gaussian pyramid

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_pyramid

维基解密中的解释：“A Gaussian pyramid is a technique used in image processing, especially in texture synthesis. The technique involves creating a series of images which are weighted down using a Gaussian average (Gaussian blur) and scaled down. When this technique is used multiple times, it creates a stack of successively smaller images, with each pixel containing a local average that corresponds to a pixel neighborhood on a lower level of the pyramid.“

翻译译译译译译译：高斯金字塔是一种用于图像处理特别是纹理合成的技术。这种技术可以创建一系列按照高斯平均值（或者高斯模糊）下降排列的图像，并且图像按比例缩小。多次使用该技术后会产生一堆一次变小的图像，图像的像素含有较低层金字塔中与之相对应的本地化均值。
