Interactive selection of data in digital images

摘要

The present invention is in the technological field of imaging and more specifically image analysis. The present invention relates more particularly to an interactive process that lets a user select and validate partially or fully the result supplied by an automatic detection process of digital image data. The invention process enables a display on the display screen of a terminal, one digitized original image, accompanied by a digital image of the graphic representation of candidate zones representative of candidate elements to be extracted from the original image. The user can select and validate the candidate zones or parts of candidate zones that he/she wishes to validate or invalidate. The invention process is used advantageously to renovate images recorded on silver or magnetic supports. The conventional silver supports of these images are generally constituted of photographic film or paper.
