We describe a novel recursive filter design technique for multi-scale ``pyramid'' transforms. The recursion in the design technique follows that of the pyramid construction, and allows us to solve a reduced design problem at each step. We demonstrate the use of this technique by designing filters of various orientation bandwidths for use in a ``steerable pyramid'' image transform. Source code and filter kernels for the steerable pyramid are available via anonymous ftp.
