Abstract:
1. Method of processing a sequence of images comprising image points each of which is associated with at least one colour component, said method comprising the following steps: selecting reference images in said sequence; processing at least one image of said sequence on the basis of said selected reference images, said step being adapted to reduce flicker effects; wherein the step of selecting reference images comprises the following steps: calculating, for at least one image part of each image of said sequence, the mean value of said at least one colour component; displaying a curve, called curve of mean values, on a two dimensional graph, said curve associating each frame with the corresponding mean value; positioning on said graph a predefined reference curve; and selecting, as a first series of reference images, the images of said sequence whose associated mean value lies in a predefined spatial neighborhood of said reference curve.
