That is a cool visualization of a quad tree. I use quadtrees in geospatial applications (to partition lat longs) but this is the time I’ve seen it used to render a photo.

Quad trees are abstract until you see what they look like. It’s a clever method to partition 2D points.

(Kd trees are even better)

What does that mean?

That all sounds incredibly dystopian, ugh.
