This describes optical systems or algorithms designed to process an image at varying levels of detail. In computational imaging, a multiresolutional approach allows a system to quickly scan a wide field of view at low resolution while selectively zooming into regions of interest with high precision. This minimizes the massive data overhead typically required to scan large areas at diffraction-limited scales.

We need a multiresolutional setup for the inspection stage so we don't choke the processor on empty background pixels.
