Abstract:
1. A method of performing data compression comprising: receiving a first data set including a plurality of data points in a plurality of dimensions, wherein each data point in the first data set has an associated intensity; performing first processing to determine a second set of final sums for the plurality of data points in the first data set, wherein, for each data point in the first data set, a corresponding final sum of the second set is determined that is a sum of intensities associated with a first portion of data points, wherein the first portion of data points for which the intensities are summed for said each data point are included within a geometric shape centered on said each data point, said first processing further including: performing second processing to determine a final set of final combined keep values, wherein each of the final combined keep values in the final set corresponds to a different one of the plurality of data points in the first data set and denotes whether to keep or otherwise remove said different one of the plurality of data points from the first data set, said second processing further including:
