Scale space is a way of modifying an image or object to help us see important details. It works by stretching out small parts or shrinking big parts of the object or image, which allows us to see the details more clearly. Think of it like if you were looking at something through a magnifying glass. The magnifying glass makes the small parts bigger and easier to see, while shrinking the larger parts down to something more manageable. Scale space does the same thing, but with a computer.
