ABSTRACT:
A computer-implemented method is described. The method includes generating a coarse resolution image from a finer resolution image, generating a coarse coverage mask that identifies valid and non-valid data in the coarse resolution image, and determining whether data in the finer resolution image is valid or non-valid data based on whether corresponding data identified by the coarse coverage mask is valid or non-valid data. In certain embodiments, generating a coarse resolution image can include segmenting the finer resolution image into tiles and compressing each tile. Compressing each tile can be preformed using a lossless compression, and at least two tiles can be transmitted to separate computing devices and compressed in parallel.
