The core idea: if you systematically combine decomposition methods (Gaussian, bilateral, wavelet, morphological, etc.) with different upsampling techniques, each combination has characteristic "failure modes" that selectively preserve or eliminate certain features. The differences between outputs become feature-specific filters.

The framework tests 25 decomposition × 19 upsampling methods across parameter ranges — about 40,000 combinations total. The visualization grid makes it easy to compare which methods work for what.

I'd appreciate feedback from anyone who actually works with elevation data. What am I missing? What's obvious to practitioners that I wouldn't know?
