abstract= "A pyramid is a stack of image representations with
decreasing resolution. Many image processing algorithms
run on this hierarchical structure in O(log(n))
parallel processing steps where n is the diameter of
the input image. Graph pyramids are made of a stack of
successively reduced graphs embedded in the plane. Such
pyramids overcome the main limitations of their regular
ancestors. The graphs used in the pyramid may be region
adjacency graphs or dual graphs. This paper reviews the
different hierarchical data structures and introduces a
new representation named combinatorial pyramid.",
