Abstract
A system and method for determining statistical data within an image having pixels with relatively higher bit depth per band and a system and method of converting a first image within the image having pixels with the relatively higher bit depth per band into a second image having a relatively lower bit depth per band. The higher bit depth per band includes greater than 8 bits per band. The method of determining statistical data for pixels of an image includes dividing the image having pixels with the higher bit depth per band into a plurality of polygonal sections, each polygonal section including substantially homogenous features; computing statistical data for pixels within each polygonal section; and storing the statistical data with the image.
