ABSTRACT:
A device processes an initial digital image with at least one contour zone. The device may have a magnifier able to magnify the initial image into a magnified digital image. The magnifier may have a detector able to detect the contour zones of the initial digital image, a determinater able to determine the size, in terms of number of pixels, of each contour zone, and a second magnifier able to magnify each contour zone using of a software tool, chosen as a function of the size of each contour zone, from among a set of magnifying software tools.
