Abstract
Provided are a transmission apparatus, a transmission method, and a program that achieve transmission of image data having an appropriate referent with a small network load. An acquisition unit () sequentially acquires frame images drawn in a frame buffer. An encoding processing unit () sequentially encodes encoding units each corresponding to part or whole of one of the frame images and generates image data. A data transmitting unit () sequentially transmits the image data. A transmission failure probability estimating unit () estimates, after the transmission of the image data, a transmission failure probability that is a probability of failure of the transmission of the image data. A referent determining unit () determines, in reference to the transmission failure probability of the image data, one or a plurality of referents that serve as a referent of a given encoding unit from the encoding units related to the image data transmitted. The encoding processing unit () encodes the given encoding unit by referring to the one or the plurality of referents, thereby generating the image data.
