I've been curious if video codecs could be repurposed to store voxel data. Most approaches seem to use image stacks, but there's inherently going to be a lot of redundancy from slice to slice. I'm sure a purpose-built format could be better with enough effort, but there's a lot of work put into video compression, so it seems like there might be a way to leverage that for some cheap improvements to 3D data storage. The storage solution that I've seen in practice has just been a folder of TIFs, so it seems like there's lots of room for improvement.
