Contour Matching Using Wavelet Transform and Multigrid Methods

In this paper, wavelet transform and multigrid method are combined to make the method more practical. It is known that Gaussian filtering causes shrinkage of data. To overcome this disadvantage, Gaussian filtering is replaced with wavelet transform. This method introduces no curve shrinkage. Then, the linearized form of objective equation is proposed. This makes contour matching easier to implement. Finally, the multigrid method is used to speed up the convergence.
