Hey Stefan.

Actually I don't know how these kind of filter banks compare with wavelets. They just seem kind of popular with computer vision people.

There is no wavelet filter bank in skimage, is there? I guess it would be easy enough to do with scipy, though.

By the way, you mentioned you are interested in matting. I'm working on the alphamatting.com dataset this week :)

OT: Sorry for not finishing up my segmentation PR. It is quite mature but I wanted to compare it to the standard implementations. But for that I need Lab color space conversions, which I didn't get around doing yet.

Cheers, Andy

I put together some simple filterbank code here: http://peekaboo-vision.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/filterbank-for-low-level-visio...

Interesting! How do those compare with wavelet filter banks?

(I happened to have dabbled in texture recognition before: http://mentat.za.net/msc_thesis.html . I didn't know that Zisserman's lab worked on that--interesting because they also did a lot of super-resolution, the topic of my PhD).
