Abstract: L'invention concerne les dispositifs de traitement d'images permettant d"identifier, de traiter et de sélectionner des sources de lumière discrètes présentes dans une image vidéo composée de pixels. Le but est la présentation, en temps réel, à un utilisateur d'une image traitée permettant une meilleure reconnaissance de sources de lumière dans une image faiblement contrastée. En utilisation aéronautique, ce dispositif apporte une aide à l'atterrissage en permettant une meilleure reconnaissance des lampes de piste en conditions de visibilité dégradée, notamment par temps de brouillard. L'invention repose sur trois principes majeurs .bullet. Les traitements d'images principaux ne sont effectués que sur un petit nombre de pixels dont le niveau est supérieur à un seuil; .bullet. Un estimateur de vraisemblance évalue la probabilité d'existence de sources dans l'image; .bullet. Le seuil est variable en fonction d'un certain nombre de paramètres de l'image.
