Abstract:
1. A transmission system comprising a server and plural clients, which mutually transmit/receive transmission/reception data, the clients each including: an object extraction unit configured to extract an object from moving image data obtained by capturing the object using a camera to obtain first object image data, the object extraction unit comprising: means for inputting image data representing an original image and shape data indicating a binary image representing a first provisional shape corresponding to the object in the original image based on the moving image data; means for executing coarse adjustment including: means for executing main adjustment including: a client transmission unit configured to transmit the first object image data as down stream transmission/reception data to the server without any change or upon compression; a client reception unit configured to receive upstream transmission/reception data sent from the server and handle the transmission/reception data as second object image data if the data is non-compressed, and reproduce the second object image data if the data is compressed; and a display which displays the second object image data, and the server including: a server reception unit configured to receive the downstream transmission/reception data from each of the clients, handle the transmission/reception data as the first object image data if the data is non-compressed, and reproduce the first object image data if the data is compressed, a composite unit configured to combine the first object image data received from the clients to produce one composite image data, and a server transmission configured to transmit the composite image data as the upstream transmission/reception data without any change or upon compression to the clients.
