System and method for storing points of polygons related to an image
First Claim
1. The following listing of claims replaces all prior listings:
- 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.

Abstract
A system and method for storing data may include: unevenly dividing the image into polygonal image sections having pixels with 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 a portion of one of the polygonal image sections, obtaining statistical data 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 a 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.
