A method and interactive system for the on-line transmission of a high-resolution video sequence composed of a succession of T images includes a step of selecting relevant images comprising at least the following steps: split each image to be transmitted at the instant t into a number N of zones, for each zone n determined in the previous step, calculate a value representative of the content of said zone, for each image to be transmitted, generate a vector representative of the content of said image containing the values obtained in the previous step, calculate a normalized coefficient of correlation α between the reference vector determined for a previously selected image and that calculated for the current image, make a decision on the selection (or not) of the current image as a function of the value of the normalized correlation coefficient α.
