Summary: Moving large datasets over limited bandwidth connections can take up a large fraction of the network bandwidth. Therefore, compression is usually proposed to address this problem, as well as to reduce the storage space required for the dataset at the destination. In appearance-based methods for object detection and recognition, representative images of the objects are typically transferred over limited bandwidth connections. This invention describes an efficient system and method for data compression and visualization in appearance-based object detection. For example, this invention is useful in medical imaging applications such as CT image reconstruction.

Applications:
- Medical imaging.
- Computed tomography ("CT") image reconstruction.
