Abstract: Provided are a transmission device, a transmission method, and a program capable of performing rate control suitable for an image quality priority image. A basic parameter value decision section (28a) decides, for a frame image that is not an image quality priority image, values of parameters used for encoding an encoding unit that is a part or whole of the frame image, by applying the difference between a control amount and a target value to a predetermined control rule. An image quality priority parameter value decision section (28b) decides, for the frame image that is the image quality priority image, values by which the data size of the generated image data becomes larger than those decided by applying the difference between the control amount and the target value to the predetermined control rule as the values of the parameters used for the encoding unit of the frame image.

An acquisition unit (26) sequentially acquires frame images drawn in a frame buffer. An encoding processing unit (28) sequentially encodes encoding units each corresponding to part or whole of one of the frame images and generates image data. A data transmitting unit (30) sequentially transmits the image data. A transmission failure probability estimating unit (38) estimates, after the transmission of the image data, a transmission failure probability that is a probability of failure of the transmission of the image data. A referent determining unit (42) determines, in reference to the transmission failure probability of the image data, one or a plurality of referents that serve as a referent of a given encoding unit from the encoding units related to the image data transmitted.

Abstract: At a server 400, a rate control map storage section 430 of a compressing/encoding section 422 stores a rate control map on which an image quality deterioration tolerance is set for each compression unit. A status acquiring section 432 acquires a distribution of image resolutions and positional coordinates of a point of gaze of a user, and a map generating section 434 generates or corrects the rate control map on the basis of the acquired information. On the basis of the rate control map, a compression/encoding processing section 436 sets a target value of a data size, and compresses and encodes image data while performing feedback control. A communication section 426 transmits the data obtained after the compression, in units of partial images formed by splitting a frame.
