% RES = upBlur(IM, LEVELS, FILT)
%
% Upsample and blur an image.  The blurring is done with filter
% kernel specified by FILT (default = 'binom5'), which can be a string
% (to be passed to namedFilter), a vector (applied separably as a 1D
% convolution kernel in X and Y), or a matrix (applied as a 2D
% convolution kernel).  The downsampling is always by 2 in each
% direction.
%
% The procedure is applied recursively LEVELS times (default=1).
