Abstract
Provided is a device and method for transmitting image data that converts 2D image data taken by a digital camera to 3D image data and transmits the 2D and 3D image data to a computer. The image data transmission method that converts 2D image data taken by a digital camera to 3D image data and transmits the 2D and 3D image data to a computer, thereby reducing the required memory capacity and hence the image transfer rate includes extracting contours from the 2D image data taken by the digital camera; and transmitting the contour extraction data to the computer when the extraction of the contours is completed.
Claims3
An image data transmission method, which is in a device for transmitting image data that has a digital camera, the method comprising:
- (a) extracting contours from 2D image data taken by the digital camera;
- (b) detecting the reception of a 2D image transmit command or a 3D image transmit command from a computer after extraction of the contours;
- and
- (c) transmitting the contour extraction data to the computer, when the 3D image transmit command is detected.
