function dss = diffss(ss)
% DIFFSS  Difference of scale space
%   DSS=DIFFSS(SS) returns a scale space DSS obtained by subtracting
%   consecutive levels of the scale space SS.
%
%   In SIFT, this function is used to compute the difference of
%   Gaussian scale space from the Gaussian scale space of an image.
