Abstract
The invention relates to a method for processing video images comprising the steps for acquiring a plurality of video images during a time interval comprising a reference time t; associating a weighting factor with each of the video images, at least two of the video images having different weighting factors; memorising the video images; weighting each of the video images memorised with the associated weighting factor; generating an image called the reference image associated with the reference time t by averaging weighted video images. According to the invention, each video image is memorised with a resolution proportional to the weighting factor associated with said video image in order to reduce the memory space necessary for the storage of images and reduce the access time to the memorised images.
