1. A method for displaying and distributing recorded data, comprising:
capturing, by an imaging system, color data, depth data, and auxiliary data associated with a target scene, wherein the color data is represented in a Bayer pattern, and wherein the Bayer pattern includes a blue channel, two green channels, and a red channel;
compressing the color data, the depth data, and the auxiliary data, wherein compressing the color data comprises:
splitting each of the color data represented in the Bayer pattern into four individual color planes;
forming at least one set of data by combining the four individual color planes; and
compressing the at least one set of data using one or more compression techniques; and
constructing, by the imaging system, a three-dimensional representation of the target scene based on the color data, the depth data, and the auxiliary data.
