(57) ABSTRACT A method for generating a multi Scale representation of an input image, the method comprising the procedures of esti mating a scale factor corresponding to said input image: determining a set of Gaussian difference kernels according to said estimated scale factor, and according to a predetermined set of Gaussian kernels; and generating a multi-scale repre sentation of said input image by applying each of said set of Gaussian difference kernels on said input image.
