Remote viewing of large image files

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• receiving, by a computing system and from a remote computing device, a request to compress information including a plurality of data values that:
• (i) represent a corresponding plurality of pixels of an image, and
• (ii) are encoded within a corresponding plurality of multi-byte data units, such that each data value in the plurality of data values is encoded within a corresponding multi-byte data unit;
• receiving, by the computing system, the information for which the request was received;
• identifying, by the computing system, that a dynamic range of data values in the plurality of data values requires less than all bits of each corresponding multi-byte data unit in order to encode the corresponding data values;
• transforming, by the computing system, the data values in the plurality of data values to increase redundancy of symbols in the information, by rearranging the bits within each of the multi-byte data units in the plurality of multi-byte data units, wherein rearranging the bits within each of the multi-byte data units includes moving a subset of bits in the multi-byte data unit from occupying part of a first byte of the multi-byte data unit and part of a second byte of the multi-byte data unit to only occupying part of the second byte of the multi-byte data unit;
• replacing, by the computing system after the data values have been transformed to increase redundancy of symbols in the information, symbols in multi-byte data units in the plurality of multi-byte data units using symbols from a lookup table;
• compressing, by the computing system, the information after the computing system has transformed data values to increase redundancy of symbols in the information and after the computing system has replaced symbols in multi-byte data units using symbols from a lookup table;
• and
• transmitting the information from the computing system to the remote computing device after the information has been compressed.
