1. A method for reducing image data, the method comprising:
- selecting image data from a preset spatial region on an image frame; and
reducing data in said preset spatial region by;
selecting a first sub-region in said preset spatial region;
reducing data in the first sub-region by applying a first reduction ratio;
selecting a second sub-region in said preset region; and
reducing data in the second sub-region by applying a second reduction ratio.

Abstract
A device, system, and method for reducing image data using spatially varying reduction are described. Images may be captured from an in-vivo device, while the reduced images may be transmitted via wireless communications. Reduction may be achieved by selecting a spatial area of interest on an image frame, dividing the spatial area of interest into one or more sub-regions, reducing each sub-region by a defined reduction ratio according to the spatial properties of said sub-region, and transmitting image data from spatial area of interest.

11. A method for diluting an image frame having spatially varying resolution, the method comprising:
-
selecting a preset region in the image frame; selecting a first sub-region in said region, said first sub-region having a first selected range of resolution; selecting a second sub-region in said region, said second sub-region having a second selected range of resolution; diluting data in said first sub-region by a first dilution ratio; and diluting data in said second sub-region by a second dilution ratio. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
