Abstract
News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors:“Digital imagery is an area of substantial, continued devel opment since images can have wide applicationsacross many platforms. The gather ing of image data is used to train machine learning models, builddatabases, and for feature extraction for map data. The size of image files increases substant ially withhigher resolution images. Further, the continued development of ever- higher resolution cameras resultsin copious amounts of image data with file siz es increasing at an alarming rate relative to data storagecapacities and commun ication bandwidth. The sheer volume of digital image files collected from various sources, together with the increasing resolution has led to storage capacity i ssues and bandwidthtransmission issues.
