Space-Efficient Representation

The RenderList structure for storing extracted voxels is well-suited for further compression. Exploiting spatial coherence (especially in the case of extracted surface voxels), voxel positions, gradient information, and data values can be compressed to a few bit per voxel. This compact representation can be used for efficient transmission of extracted data for visualization over low-bandwidth networks, like the Internet.
