Abstract
Methods and apparatus for enhancing optical images and parametric databases are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, a method includes identifying a parametric database having one or more dimensions of varying parameter values, and enhancing the parametric database utilizing a pyramid data structure that includes a plurality of pyramid levels as an input to and output from the frequency blender. Each of the plurality of levels of the pyramid data structure includes an instance of the parametric database having a unique parameter sampling resolution, a frequency isolation representation at that resolution, and a frequency blended representation of the parametric database at that resolution. The method also includes utilizing a frequency blender and auto throttle to perform the blending of a plurality of levels, and returning the enhanced parametric database.
