Image Processing Using Quadtrees

When it comes to raster-image processing, quadtrees provide reasonable storage savings while retaining an image's hierarchical information without loss of detail. This means you can perform image-processing operations and transfer the results when converting the quadtree back into a raster image. These characteristics are particularly useful when you're processing several images too large for storage in main memory.
