The Marr conjecture on uniqueness from wavelet zero sets

About 12 years old · traced to

Let MσM_\sigma denote the wavelet transform kernel at positive scale σ\sigma, and let ff be a locally integrable function of sufficiently rapid decay. For a sequence of positive scales {σi}i=1∞\{\sigma_i\}_{i=1}^\infty tending to infinity, consider the zero sets of the convolutions f∗Mσif*M_{\sigma_i}. Marr conjecture. The function ff is uniquely determined, up to a constant multiple, by these zero sets for any such sequence {σi}i=1∞\{\sigma_i\}_{i=1}^\infty.

The conjecture arises in vision theory from edge detection and image reconstruction, and concerns recovery of a decaying function from the zero sets of its wavelet transforms. The source does not establish its general resolution.
