Claim One:
1. A method for processing a current image of an image sequence, comprising: identification of at least one region to be constructed associated with said current image, called unknown region, the size of said at least one unknown region being strictly less than the size of said current image, selection of at least one construction technique for constructing said at least one unknown region among construction techniques belonging to the group comprising: construction by temporal inpainting, construction by spatial inpainting, construction by inter-view inpainting, when a device for capturing said current image is equipped with at least two distinct sensors, generation of an image to be processed, said image to be processed corresponding to the union of said current image and said at least one unknown region, association of at least one confidence indicator with said at least one unknown region, wherein said confidence indicator is obtained, for a pixel to be constructed of said at least one unknown region, by: determination of a first value representative of the use of said technique for construction by temporal inpainting or said technique for construction by inter-view inpainting to construct said pixel and inversely proportional to the temporal or inter-view distance between said current image and a source image used for said temporal or said inter-view inpainting, determination of a second value representative of the use of said technique for construction by temporal inpainting or said technique for construction by inter-view inpainting to construct said pixel, said second value taking into account the mean square error associated with said technique for construction by temporal inpainting or said technique for construction by inter-view inpainting, determination of a third value representative of the minimum distance between said pixel to be constructed of said unknown region and a pixel of the region distinct from said at least one unknown region of the image to be processed, called the known region of said image to be processed, determination of a fourth value A representative of the application of a colour and/or luminance compensation, obtaining said confidence indicator by linearly combining said first, second, third and fourth values.
