ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides systems, methods, and computer readable media for manipulating and formatting data sets (e.g.,105, 106) described using different coordinate systems. One version of the invention provides a method for formatting data sets described using different coordinate systems into a single format (136). The method includes the steps of a) acquiring (310) a first coordinate system data set, b) formatting (320) the first coordinate system data set into non-Cartesian representation (NCR) format (136), and c) storing (330) the resulting formatted data sets in NCR format. The method can further include the step of acquiring a second coordinate system data set and formatting the second coordinate system data set in NCR format.
