Patent ID: 8547397

Claim:
A method for processing data, in particular an image representative of an observation zone in which is situated an object arranged with respect to a reference plane situated at a constant distance from a first image capture device and a second image capture device, the first image capture device being able to capture a conical beam and the second image capture device being able to capture a parallel beam, the object being for its part situated at a variable distance from the reference plane, said reference plane being situated at the intersection of the conical beam and of the parallel beam, comprising the following steps: reception of two images which have been captured beforehand by means of the first and second image capture devices respectively, display of said images received, in the course of the display step, display of said images in two juxtaposed windows of a screen, the first window comprising an object plane including said object, and the second window comprising the reference plane, determination, in the displayed image, of the number of pixels separating two contiguous sides and parallels, respectively of the object plane and of the reference plane, and extending along a determined direction (X or Y), correlation of the determined number of pixels with the value of the measurement of the real distance which separates said object from said reference plane.
