A system and method for storing data may include: unevenly dividing the image into polygonal image sections having pixels with band(s) and a bit depth per band that is too high for displaying on a display screen, dividing the image into quads such that each quad has a boundary that contains a portion of one of the polygonal image sections, obtaining statistical data computed for each of the bands of each of the pixels within each of the polygonal image sections, storing, with respect to a reduced resolution dataset (R-Set) of the image, coordinates of bounds of a polygonal image section that intersects with a quad, organizing the image, the quads, and the polygonal image sections in a tree structure, and storing the statistical data, the pixel coordinates, and the tree structure.
