Claim One:
1. A method for the real-time determination of a number of signals to be summed from among a set of signals representative of an image portion which are respectively received from a set of detectors belonging to the same optical sensor, the detectors being organized in a matrix formed by rows and columns, the said signals to be summed being received on the same column, and for the determination of the time during which the detectors must acquire the said signals to be summed, the method comprising: a step of determining a value representative of a modulation transfer function and of an image portion signal-to-noise ratio, based on a location of one of the detectors and on a signal representative of an image portion obtained from the said detectors, the said representative value depending on the said number, a step of searching for the said number and for the said time maximizing the said representative value.
