US 2018/0322120 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STORING POINTS OF POLYGONS RELATED TO AN IMAGE

Abstract

A system and method for storing data related to an image is disclosed. The method may include: unevenly dividing the image into polygonal image sections, each comprising pixels and each of the pixels having band(s) and a bit depth per band that is too high for displaying on a display screen; dividing the image into quads such that each quad has a boundary that contains at least a portion of one of the polygonal image sections; obtaining statistical data associated with the image, the statistical data being computed for each of the bands of each of the pixels within each of the polygonal image sections; storing, with respect to a reduced resolution dataset (R-Set) of the image, coordinates of bounds of at least one polygonal image section that intersects with a quad; organizing the image, the quads, and the polygonal image sections in a tree structure; and storing the statistical data, the pixel coordinates, and the tree structure.

A method for storing data related to an image, the method being implemented by a computer system that includes one or more processors configured to execute computer program instructions, the method comprising:

unevenly dividing the image into a plurality of polygonal image sections each comprising a plurality of pixels, wherein each of the pixels has one or more bands and a bit depth per band that is too high for displaying on a display screen;
dividing the image into a plurality of quads such that each quad has a boundary that contains at least a portion of one of the plurality of polygonal image sections;
obtaining statistical data associated with the image, the statistical data being computed for each of the bands of each of the pixels within each of the polygonal image sections;
storing, with respect to a reduced resolution dataset (R-Set) of the image, pixel coordinates of bounds of at least one polygonal image section that intersects with a quad;
organizing the image, the plurality of quads, and the plurality of polygonal image sections in a tree structure;
and
storing the statistical data, the pixel coordinates, and the tree structure.
