Data Compression

Individual objects within the volume are compressed separately. Voxels of each object are grouped into slices of voxels with the same $z$ coordinate which are processed sequentially (see figure 5.1). To ensure effectivity, different data channels (attributes) have to be compressed using specialized compression methods.
