ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods are disclosed for providing foveal images. For example, high and low resolution images can be combined to provide foveal images. Parameters other than resolution can vary between the larger and smaller images of the foveal image. Real, artificial, 2D and 3D images can be used in any desired combination to form foveal images. The use of such foveal images can substantially enhance the ability of viewers to accurately and reliably interpret the content of images and provide reduce bandwidth for image transmission.
