Abstract: Provided are a method and a program for image processing to output intended information from image data of an arbitrary frame, directly utilizing an image displayed in imaging software such as a browser used in a computer or the like. The method for processing an image within a display screen includes the steps of: setting one or more arbitrary set areas on a display screen; sequentially transferring pieces of image data for the set areas to a memory; performing intended determination by data processing to the pieces of image data in the memory; and externally outputting a result of the determination. The result of the determination may be output as information based on software, as an electric signal to one of a serial port and a parallel port, or to a network, in a form of one of e-mail, information data, and image data. Further, a name may be individually assigned to each of the one or more areas on the display screen, and different image data processing may be performed to the plurality of set areas.

Abstract: A method for compressing image information at a high speed and a method for transferring real-time moving images utilizing the same in which scanning of rectangular parallelepiped regions is performed as an extension of three-dimensional Hilbert scanning to improve throughput and to achieve cost reduction. In the method for compressing image information at a high speed, viewed moving images including three dimensional information are converted into one-dimensional serial information one by one using a look-up table associated with rectangular parallelepiped regions in a three-dimensional space, and the converted data is subjected to data compression. In the method for transferring viewed moving images from a server to clients in real-time, data compressed according to the method is transferred through a communication path and the data is decompressed at the clients.
