If I have 2 sequential screenshots stored as BufferedImages, is it possible to compare them to get the differences. &nbsp;I'd like to take the differences and send them over a socket to a server and be able to reconstitute the image on the fly. &nbsp;Essentially I'd only be transmitting image changes so that i can achieve a more efficient &quot;stream&quot;. &nbsp;On the server side, i would accept the differences and apply them to the current image.<br />
<br />
1) send initial image from client to server<br />
2) client takes new picture and compares with previous<br />
3) image differences are sent to server<br />
4) server takes differences and applies to previous image<br />
<br />
I hope that my question is clear. &nbsp;What type of data storage object would be efficient for thsi? &nbsp;Just a simple array as is used as the data backing of a BufferedImage?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
David

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
