Abstract

An image processing device having at least an image sensor, a flat image transfer screen and a computer, characterized by a sensor (3) arranged as a first network of image points or pixels, an analysis device (6, 4) adapted to generate for each pixel of the sensor a signal representative of at least one parameter, and at least a flat screen (18, 20, 25) organized according to a network of image points or pixels in association with processing means (5, 9) intended to elaborate for each pixel of the screen a state control signal which is a function of the representative signals delivered by the analysis means, the sensor and the screen receiving images of same objects, these images being transmitted or reflected by the screen. The device is more particularly suited to be used in the photographic industry.
