Abstract
The invention relates to a method of encoding image data representing a geographical line, GL, or its surroundings, and a data processing system being configured to perform the encoding. The method comprises applying a data compression process to reduce the spatial resolution of a given image represented by the image data. Specifically, the image may form an imagery layer of an imagery stack comprising various imagery layers, each imagery layer representing an individual image, e.g. of a same geographical region. The data compression process comprises: generating two or more sublayers of the image by resampling at least one region of the image at a respective lower spatial resolution than its original spatial resolution, while maintaining or resampling the spatial resolution of at least one other region of the image such that, when the sublayers are overlapped to jointly define a combined multi-resolution representation of the image, the average resolution of the combined multi-resolution representation is lower than the original resolution of the image.
