ABSTRACT:
The object of the invention is a method of processing information contained in an image, including:a first processing (1-4), for defining an area of interest of the image (8),effecting an adaptive thresholding (1-8) of this area of interest in order to obtain a threshold image (10) of this area of interest, referred to as the first thresholded image,the segmentation (1-12) of the thresholded image, in order to obtain a first set of morphological layers (14-1, 14-2, 14-3, . . .) of the thresholded image.
