Patent ID: 8594093

Claim:
A method for transmitting image data, the method comprising: classifying each pixel of image data into upper bits and lower bits; enabling the classified upper bits to be included in a payload of a Most Significant Bit (MSB) packet, and also enabling the classified lower bits to be included in a payload of a Least Significant Bit (LSB) packet; generating a header of the MSB packet and a header of the LSB packet; combining the payload and the header of the MSB packet to generate a combined MSB packet, and the payload and the header of the LSB packet to generate a combined LSB packet; and transmitting the generated combined MSB packet and the combined LSB packet, wherein the header of the MSB packet and the header of the LSB packet include error correction code type information, MSB/LSB classification information, information about a position on an image frame of image pixels included in the payload of each of the packets, and sequence information of an image frame.
