Abstract
A method comprising: mapping an image onto multiple level sets connected by multiple branches, wherein each of said level sets corresponds to a predefined range of values for an attribute of said image; associating multiple pixels of said image to said multiple level sets in accordance with the value of each pixel; identifying a source level set associated with a source pixel of said multiple pixels; for each of said multiple pixels, determining that a distance between said source pixel and one of said multiple pixels is within a predefined threshold, wherein said distance is calculated as a function of a first distance between said source level set and said level set associated with said one of said multiple pixels; in one embodiment, the determined distance is applied to an image processing application to produce a processed image, and the processed image is rendered on a rendering medium.
