I am interested in corresponding with anyone researching the "progressive
transmission" technique. This involves the gradual increase of image detail
and sharpness as long as the image stays on the screen. Thus, one may browse
images at an initial low resolution and, if desired, wait for (pay for?)
better resolution to emerge in front of their eyes? Sounds like a great idea
but how is it physically possible to transmit images in this way? Would
digital video (of a still image) be the answer? Any suggested readings on the
matter would be most appreciated.
