Abstract
Disclosed are systems and associated methods for generating a regularized image from non-uniformly distributed image data based on a curve derived from the image data. The curve is used to reduce the non-uniformity in the image data without losing detail or changing the overall image. Regularizing the image includes obtaining a tree-based representation of the non-uniformly distributed image data, generating a regularization curve that models a particular distribution of the image data, and applying the regularization curve to the tree-based representation in order to select the nodes of the tree-based representation for the decimated image data to render in place of the original image data and the original image data to preserve and render as part of the regularized image. Specifically, the system render the original image data associated with leaf nodes and the decimated image data associated with parent nodes that intersect or are within the regularization curve.
