Wavelets
Multi-scale sharpening technique for detail enhancement
Definition
Wavelet processing decomposes an image into different frequency layers (scales). Each layer can be enhanced independently - fine detail, medium structures, and coarse features. This allows precise sharpening without introducing artifacts. Popularized by Registax, wavelets are essential for bringing out planetary detail like cloud bands and crater rims.
