Abstract
An apparatus for estimating the solution to a finite element analysis and/or regularization equation, the apparatus including means for generating a pyramid representation of input data, each level of the pyramid representation corresponding to a different set of similar eigenvectors; means for multiplying at least one of the levels of the representation by a weight derived from the eigenvalue associated with the set of eigenvectors for that level to generate a weighted pyramid representation; and means for collapsing the weighted pyramid representation to generate an estimated solution to the equation.
