This paper describes a function for a remote diagnosis system for plant diseases and pests using video communication through a narrow bandwidth network. The proposed function has the following feature; a user can select a part of a video image based on her/his interest. Picture structure of H.261 is used to develop the proposed function. The proposed function enables users to transmit a high quality image with smooth motion even though only a narrow bandwidth network is available. We experimented on the remote diagnosis of plant diseases and pests using the proposed function. The results showed that the proposed function works finely and we can perform remote diagnosis with a high quality image through a narrow bandwidth network.
