Abstract
A method for providing an output image, the method includes: determining an importance value for each input pixels out of multiple input pixels of an input image; applying on each of the multiple input pixels a conversion process that is responsive to the importance value of the input pixel to provide multiple output pixels that form the output image; wherein the input image differs from the output image.
