This paper presents a multiresolution approach for progressive image coding at very-low bit rate and transmission via web. A real application concerning a real- time traffic monitoring system for unattended motorway or urban areas is considered. First, semantic information, e.g., alarm generation and vehicle classification provided by a recognition subsystem, is sent to a remote control center; then, binary shape information is transmitted, in order to allow the remote operator to validate the alarm situation. Pictorial information can be also required as a further step by the operator of the control center. The coding scheme allows to use the web as useful transmission channel.
