A further understanding of the invention can be achieved by reading the following
claim.
1. A method of generating information indicative of a video frame
for subsequent transmission over a communication network, the method
comprising the steps of:
segmenting a video frame into a plurality of discrete spatial
components;
transforming each of the plurality of discrete spatial components
into a plurality of discrete frequency components; and
assigning an order transmission priority to each of the plurality of
discrete frequency components that determines the time order in which
the plurality of discrete frequency components are to be transmitted over
the communications network;
whereby information indicative of the video frame is generated for
subsequent transmission over the communications network.
