Abstract:
1. Method for image processing to generate, from a source image having a predefined width to height ratio, called initial ratio, and an information banner having predefined width to height ratio, called banner ratio, a final image having a width called final and a height called final and for which the width to height ratio, called final ratio, is different from said initial ratio, wherein it comprises the following steps: determine, from said final ratio and said banner ratio, a width to height ratio, called useful ratio, of an image called useful ratio, an image called useful so that, for a useful image and an information banner having a width equal to a final width, the height of the useful image is equal to the difference between the final height and the height of the information banner or so that, for a useful image and an information banner having a height equal to the final height, the width of the useful image is equal to the difference between the final width and the width of the information banner, extract from the source image a part of the image having a width to height ratio equal to the useful ratio, and generate, from the part of the image extracted and the information banner, a final image comprising in juxtaposition an image representative of said extracted image part having a width to height ratio equal to the useful ratio and an image representative of said information banner having a width to height ratio equal to the banner ratio.
