How are the edges of an image obtained with anisotropic diffusion?

I already know how to implement the method and obtain a correctly diffused image, but in the papers related to the topic there is usually an edge map that's calculated after the diffusion is performed ...

Gaussian Pyramid - How is Subsampling Rate Related to Sigma?

I found a gaussian pyramid implementation in a MOPS paper (feature detection). They use sampling rate $s=2$ and $\sigma=1$ - i.e. to generate a new level of the pyramid, the current level is smoothed ...

what exactly does scale mean in scale-space theory?

In image processing, scale-space is a technique to represent an image at different scales. But this really confuses me, since I always think that the word scale just means the size of an object, so ...

The Scale Space Theory Understanding

In the scale-space theory the scale-space representation of the signal $f(x), x = (x_1, ..., x_d)$, (in case of image $d = 2$) is given as: $L(x, y; t) = g(x, y; t) * f(x, y)$ where $g(x, y; t)$ is a ...
