Abstract
A system and method of retrieving an area of interest of an image stored in a storage device. The method includes selecting the area of interest having user desired features, the stored image being divided into a plurality of polygonal image sections, each polygonal image section having substantially homogenous features, the image being further divided into a plurality of quads such that each quad has boundaries that contains at least a portion of a first polygonal image section and at least a portion of a second polygonal image section. The method further includes determining in which quad in the plurality of quads each pixel of the area of interest is located and determining for each quad, in which portion of the first polygonal image section or the second polygonal image section each pixel is located.
