IMAGE INFORMATION TRANSMITTER, IMAGE INFORMATION RECEIVER, IMAGE INFORMATION TRANSMISSION-RECEPTION SYSTEM, IMAGE INFORMATION TRANSMISSION METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM RECORDING PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the amount of image data transferred. SOLUTION: In a meteorological information transmission reception system that receives meteorological data sent from a meteorological satellite and displays a rainfall distribution image or the like, upon the receipt of meteorological satellite image data sent from the satellite (S1), a rainfall distribution image is generated based on the image data (S2). When a specific rainfall amount is designated, areas with the designated rainfall amount are extracted from the rainfall distribution image and coordinate data of the extracted areas are stored as rainfall area extract data (S3). Then the extracted rainfall area extract data are distributed to a receiver side (S4).
