1. A method comprising:
receiving an image comprising a plurality of original image data that is non-uniformly distributed across a space represented by the image;
obtaining a tree-based representation of the plurality of original image data, wherein the tree-based representation comprises a plurality of leaf nodes with each leaf node of the plurality of leaf nodes being associated with different original image data from the plurality of original image data, and a plurality of parent nodes with each parent node of the plurality of parent nodes being associated with decimated image data representing a different set of the plurality of original image data associated with a different set of the plurality of leaf nodes under that parent node with different amounts of decimation;
generating a regularization curve based on a distribution of the plurality of original image data;
applying the regularization curve to the tree-based representation; and
generating a regularized image from rendering the original image data associated with a subset of the plurality of leaf nodes and the decimated image data associated with a subset of the plurality of parent nodes that intersect or are within the regularization curve.
