Abstract
A system and method for determining statistical data for pixels of an image are provided, the pixels having a higher bit depth per band, the higher bit depth per band comprising greater than 8 bits per band. The method includes dividing the image having pixels with the higher bit depth per band into a plurality of polygonal sections, each polygonal section including substantially homogenous features; computing statistical data for pixels within each polygonal section; storing data of each polygonal section with the image in a storage medium; and storing the statistical data within each polygonal section with data of each corresponding polygonal section in the storage medium.
Claims23
A method for determining statistical data for pixels of an image, the pixels having a higher bit depth per band, wherein the higher bit depth per band comprises greater than 8 bits per band, the method being implemented by a computer system that includes one or more processors configured to execute computer program modules, the method comprising:
- dividing, by the one or more processors, the image having pixels with the higher bit depth per band into a plurality of polygonal sections, each polygonal section including substantially homogenous features;
- computing, by the one or more processors, statistical data for pixels within each polygonal section;
- storing, by the one or more processors, data of each polygonal section with the image in a storage medium;
- and
- storing, by the one or more processors, the statistical data within each polygonal section with data of each corresponding polygonal section in the storage medium.
A system for determining statistical data for pixels of an image, the pixels having a higher-bit depth per band, wherein the higher bit depth per band comprises greater than 8 bits per band, the system comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- divide the image having pixels with the higher bit depth per band into a plurality of polygonal sections, each polygonal section including substantially homogenous features;
- compute statistical data for pixels within each polygonal section;
- store data of each polygonal section with the image in a storage medium;
- and
- store the statistical data within each polygonal section with data of each corresponding polygonal section in the storage medium.
