Abstract
Method and apparatus for handling data comprises decomposing data into a plurality of resolution levels using an integer wavelet decomposition. A transform module may be used to perform forward and inverse transformations on multi-dimensional data using integer wavelet transforms. A data stream is compiled comprising the plurality of resolution levels in a predetermined order. At least one resolution level of the plurality of resolution levels associated with a workflow application is accessed by a processor, and the workflow application is performed on the at least one resolution level.

25. A method for forming a multi-resolution framework of data, the method comprising:
-
decomposing data into multiple resolution levels using an integer wavelet decomposition, said data comprising at least three dimensions, each of said resolution levels comprising data blocks representative of a volume of data;
compiling a data stream comprising said data blocks arranged in an order based on said resolution level;
accessing a first set of data blocks within said data stream at a predetermined resolution level, said predetermined resolution level being associated with a workflow application; and
performing said workflow application on said first set of data blocks. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
