Abstract

A method and system of encoding physiological data. In one embodiment of the invention, raw data is transformed into formatted images and then the formatted images are encoded. The data is transferred at full resolution once to a main server and then the superimposition of the data is encoded using a compression scheme. Preferably, the data is encoded using difference-based encoding, such as MPEG encoding. Encoding the data in this way makes it possible to perform data analysis on a wide variety of workstations, not just high-performance machines.
