About Quadtree Compression

I implemented this project in C++ as part of a data structures and algorithms course. The compression algorithm converts a square colour image into a quadtree data structure which splits and encodes with greater detail wherever higher colour differences are found. This is represented above as a square being split into four child quadrants with each containing a single RGB colour value.
