Hi Andy & Ashray,

Yes, image pyramids would be a useful addition to VTK.  A few years back
when I though I would get to work on some large microscopy data sets, I
started working on an image algorithm class that would create and store
pyramid, and allow downstream filters to select the desired resolution
(unfortunately, nothing came out of it).  Pyramids can be useful even in
some fairly basic image viewing pipelines.
