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.
