A method to transform video data having an interest region by wavelet transform
signal processing. First, the video data is transformed to high frequency image
data and low frequency image data. Then, first image data recording first information
responding to the interest region of the video data and second image data recording
second information responding to the interest region of the video data from the
high frequency image data are received. The first image data and the low frequency
image data are combined to form interest region data. The interest region data
and the second image data are combined by bit plane coding to generate display
data. Finally, a display device displays the display data.
