firstresolution

Firstresolution (also written as FirstResolution or firstresolution) is a term used across several fields to denote the initial stage of resolving a problem, or the base representation from which subsequent refinements unfold. Because it is not fixed to a single domain, its precise meaning varies with context.

In computing and mathematics, first resolution often refers to the coarsest level in a multi-resolution representation or algorithm. For example, in image processing and computer vision, a pyramid or wavelet-based approach begins at a low, coarse resolution—the first resolution—from which higher-detail levels are progressively reconstructed or analyzed. This starting point provides a computationally efficient base for iterative refinement and error control.

In decision making and dispute resolution, the first resolution can denote the initial outcome or settlement reached in a staged process. It sets constraints for later decisions or negotiations and may be revised through subsequent rounds.

In software development and project methodologies, teams might label the earliest implementable version of a feature as the first resolution, distinguishing it from later refinements and feature-complete releases. Some organizations also use FirstResolution as a project name or internal codename.
