A method and apparatus for encoding ( 622 ) digital image data wherein a region of interest ( 606 ) can be specified either before the encoding process has begun or during the encoding process, such that the priority ( 616 ) of the encoder outputs are modified so as to place more emphasis on the region of interest, therefore increasing the speed and/or increasing the fidelity of the reconstructed region of interest. The system, therefore, enables more effective reconstruction of digital images over communication lines.
