Claim One:
1. A method for processing images expressed by matrixes [N,M] consisting of pixels, each digit representing a value of one pixel, generated by an image sensor with a view to supplying input data to a simulated or wired neural process, comprising: a step of reading pixels pixel-by-pixel in real time by processing means of an organized scan of a region of interest, expressed by a matrix [n,m], with n<N and m<M and [n, m] a part of [N,M], the reading of the pixels progresses with each clock cycle in real time, a clock cycle corresponding to the reading of one pixel; and a step of constructing prototype vectors during the pixel-by-pixel reading process on a basis of the values read, the prototype vectors constituting the input data of the neural process, wherein the scan comprises an initialization step then the following steps in a loop: displacing the region of interest in an observation zone by sequential reading of the pixels; generating a new region of interest; constructing an intermediate vector based on the new region of interest; and constructing a prototype vector of the new region of interest on a basis of an associated intermediate vector, the prototype vectors constituting the input data of the neural process.
