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.

19. A system for handling image data, comprising:
-
a transform module for performing forward and inverse transformations on multi-dimensional data using integer wavelet transforms, said forward transformation producing a plurality of resolution levels; a processor for compiling a data stream comprising said plurality of resolution levels in a predetermined order; and a memory for storing said data stream, said processor accessing only one resolution level of said plurality of resolution levels based on a workflow application. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22)

23. 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 only one resolution level, said only one resolution level being associated with a workflow application; and performing said workflow application on said first set of data blocks. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27)
