Abstract
An image of certain resolution higher than possible in a single transmission over a finite bandwidth channel is obtained by transferring a progressively-rendered, compressed image. Initially, a low quality image is compressed and transmitted over a finite bandwidth channel. Then, a successively higher resolution image information is compressed at a source and is transmitted. The successively higher resolution image information received at the destination end is used to display a higher resolution image at the destination end.
