Abstract

A method and system for optimizing bandwidth usage in remote visualization are provided. The method may comprise determining a region of interest and a region of non-interest of the image; sending data relating to the region of interest via a reliable priority data stream; and sending data relating to the region of non-interest via a less reliable non-priority data stream. The priority data stream may be a high quality and/or high speed data stream, while the non-priority data stream may be a lower quality and/or lower speed data stream. The region of interest and the region of non-interest may be determined in various ways, including via automatic selection (e.g., through the use of image-based algorithms), via an application programming interface of one of a plurality of graphics applications that generate the image, or via manual selection by a user.
