Abstract: This article describes the Multiresolution Dissolve, a new technique used to achieve dissolves from one digital image to another, exhibiting many varied special effects. These include cross-dissolves of edge details before coarse image features, cross-dissolves of scene illumination before other image details, and a new smooth dissolve that reduces the double-exposed look of standard cross-dissolves. This method produces new and interesting results when applied to fading between background and titles or images. The Multiresolution Dissolve generates a series of bandpass filtered images of start and end images and then produces in-between frames of the dissolve sequence by summing the bandpassed images with weights that vary over time and by frequency band. Computational time and space are greatly reduced by the use of multiresolution pyramid image processing techniques.
