The invention relates to a method for compressing and decompressing video data consisting of an array of individual image points (pixels). Each pixel has a pixel value that changes with time and that describes the colour or luminosity information of the pixel. According to the method, a priority is allocated to each pixel and the pixels are then stored in a priority array according to this priority allocation. Said array contains at each moment in time the pixel values that have been classified according to the priority allocation. The pixels and the pixel values that have been used to calculate the priority allocation are transmitted or saved according to said priority allocation. A pixel receives a high priority, if the differences in relation to its neighbouring pixel are great. For the reconstruction process, the current pixel values in each case are reproduced on the display. The pixels that have not yet been transmitted are calculated from the pixels that have already been transmitted.

Procédé de compression et de décompression de données vidéo composées d'un ensemble d'éléments d'images individuels (pixels). Chaque pixel possède une valeur qui se modifie dans le temps et qui correspond à des informations de couleur ou de luminosité du pixel. Selon la présente invention, une priorité est attribuée à chaque pixel et les pixels sont classés dans un ensemble de priorité en fonction de la priorité qui leur a été attribuée. Cet ensemble contient à chaque instant les valeurs de pixel classées selon la priorité attribuée. En fonction de la priorité attribuée, ces pixels et les valeurs de pixel utilisées pour le calcul de l'attribution de priorité sont transmis ou mis en mémoire. Un pixel reçoit une priorité élevée lorsque les différences par rapport aux pixels voisins sont très grandes. En vue de la reconstitution, les valeurs de pixel en cours sont représentées sur l'afficheur. Les pixels non encore transmis sont calculés à partir des pixels déjà transmis.
