i am working on a program to analyze images and then use this to find similar images etc. I want to break the image down into a 3*3 grid then within each section 3*3 again. Would it be best to have a method to break the image down to the first 9 parts and then use recursion to call the method again for each of the 9 parts (would this cause difficulty's in storing the data?). Or would it be better to write methods to retrieve data for all 81 parts at the lowest level then combine the low level data to get data on the larger sections. nb i want to store rgb info for the 9 parts and the 9 parts within each of the original parts of the 3*3 grid. Any help is much appreciated.
