1. A method for compressing visual image data for transmission over a bandwidth restricted transmission channel, comprising:

  • compressing visual image data indicative of an image by decomposing the image data into a plurality of resolution metric associated components, each respective resolution metric defining an image resolution level;

    packetizing each of the resolution metric associated components into respective ones of a plurality of transmission protocol specific packets;

    storing said plurality of transmission protocol specific packets in priority queues, where each priority queue has a discrete transmission priority ranging from highest to lowest priority;

    adaptively directing each of the transmission protocol specific packets to a respective priority queue, wherein transmission packets are directed to priority queues having transmission priorities in inverse relationship to the image resolution level defined by each resolution metric; and

    transmitting the contents of the priority queues in accordance with their order of priority.
