1. A method comprising:

  • capturing a digital image of a pathology slide;

    identifying at a first resolution a first portion of the digital image comprising a first glass portion of the pathology slide;

    storing a value representing wavelet coefficients for the identified first glass portion of the pathology slide are unused without computing a wavelet transform for the identified first glass portion;

    identifying at the first resolution a second portion of the digital image comprising a second glass portion of the pathology slide and a non-glass portion;

    capturing a digital image of the second portion at a second resolution greater than the first resolution;

    storing the value for the identified second glass portion of the pathology slide at the second resolution without computing the wavelet transform for the identified second glass portion; and

    computing the wavelet transform of the non-glass portion of the digital image of the second portion to form a non-glass wavelet coefficient representing the identified non-glass portion.
