Abstract: Procédé de compression et de décompression de données vidéo composées d'un ensemble d'éléments d'images individuels (pixels). Chaque pixel possède une valeur qui se modifie dans le temps et qui correspond à des informations de couleur ou de luminosité du pixel. Selon la présente invention, une priorité est attribuée à chaque pixel et les pixels sont classés dans un ensemble de priorité en fonction de la priorité qui leur a été attribuée. Cet ensemble contient à chaque instant les valeurs de pixel classées selon la priorité attribuée. En fonction de la priorité attribuée, ces pixels et les valeurs de pixel utilisées pour le calcul de l'attribution de priorité sont transmis ou mis en mémoire. Un pixel reçoit une priorité élevée lorsque les différences par rapport aux pixels voisins sont très grandes. En vue de la reconstitution, les valeurs de pixel en cours sont représentées sur l'afficheur. Les pixels non encore transmis sont calculés à partir des pixels déjà transmis.
