Abstract

Multimedia systems are becoming increasingly popular. One major requirement in these systems is the efficient transmission of multimedia information over a communication or computer network. Current image and video transmission techniques work well if sufficient processing power, network bandwidth, and transmission time are available, but do not adapt properly to a reduction in one or more of these resources. This paper proposes an imprecise image/video transmission algorithm which yields a balanced tradeoff between the quality of the image/video transmitted and the available time for transmission. Our experimental results show that the proposed approach has better performance than conventional precise algorithms and some progressive transmission algorithms. It also compares favorably with commercially available systems such as InPerson made by Silicon Graphics Inc.
