Analysis of two-dimensional spatial data is important for aerial surveys of crops and soils, reconnaissance, medical diagnosis, geographical information systems, and many other domains. Partitioning of images is helpful in the processing and analysis of spatial data. Investigations have shown that splitting an image into sub-images and compressing each sub-image using fewer calculations leads to a faster and more efficient method for the compression of the main image. The relationship between partitioning, spatial information, and the ease of compressing is explored in this paper.
