Abstract:
1. Method for transmitting additional information when using a method for compressing data by way of a prioritizing pixel transmission, wherein the compressed data comprise individual pixel groups, with each pixel group having a position value within an image array and at least one pixel value, comprising the steps of: defining a minimal size of the image array by a height h and a width b of an image, expressed in pixels; transforming the data by compression; transmitting the compressed data and the additional information, wherein the additional information is placed at position values that do not occur in the data, and is located instead outside an area of the image array; reassembling the compressed data with the additional information; and displaying the reassembled data; wherein the additional information is transmitted in the form of textures and the additional information has a position value of height h×width b of the image array +k, wherein k is a predefined value that indicates that a texture is included.
