ENH: Add undecimated wavelet steerable pyramid. #53

Closed phcerdan closed 7 years ago

phcerdan commented 7 years ago

Add undecimated pyramid where there is no downsampling.

It is useful when translation invariance is wanted or if analyzing upper levels --lower resolution-- and we are interested in knowing where, in the domain of the input image, is the feature, without needing any re-scaling. Note that the amount of information between regular and undecimated pyramids is the same (Shannon theorem). But the undecimated generates all its wavelet coefficients and low-pass residual with the same size than the input image. This makes it more expensive, computationally and in memory.
