COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD FOR COMPRESSING MEASUREMENT DATA FROM A MEASUREMENT OF A MEASUREMENT VOLUME

Described is a method for compressing measurement data of a volume which comprises an object, wherein a digital representation of the object comprising a plurality of image information items of the object is generated by the measurement. The method comprises: providing an analysis specification for at least one predetermined region in the measurement volume; determining the measurement data in the measurement volume; defining a subset of the measurement data which corresponds to the at least one predetermined region of the analysis specification; selecting at least one compression rate for the subset on the basis of the analysis specification; selecting a first compression method for a remainder of the measurement data outside the subset, the first compression method having a compression rate; compressing the subset with the selected at least one compression rate, and compressing the remainder of the measurement data by way of the first compression method.
