Abstract
A method for processing digital images includes generating a plurality of images of reduced size from a two-dimensional image, with the reduced sizes being different from each other. The reduced size images are stored in memory. A three-dimensional image is generated in real time from a frame provided with unit surfaces and from pixels chosen from the image and the reduced size images as a function of the orientation of a unit surface to which a pixel is to be assigned.
