Image processing method
First Claim
1. Image processing method for visually displaying information and/or signals, a source image being transformed into a distorted or warped target image, characterized in that a deformation vector (11) which determines a deformation direction is defined within the source image (10) and a corresponding coordinate position is determined in the target image (10″
- ) for each pixel of the source image (10) according to a transformation rule (23) that is functionally dependent on said deformation vector (11) and on a scaling factor (31) that takes account of the position of each pixel in relation to the deformation vector (11).

Abstract
The invention relates to an image processing method for optically displaying information and/or signals, whereby a source image (10) is transformed into a target image (10″) that is distorted or deformed in relation to the source image. According to the invention, a deformation vector (11), which determines a deformation direction, is defined in the source image (10) and a respective corresponding co-ordinate position is determined in the target image for each image pixel of the source image (10) according to a functional transformation rule that is dependent on said deformation vector (11) and to a scaling factor (31) that takes into consideration the position of each image pixel in relation to the deformation vector (11). Preferably, the scaling factor (31) has an elliptical functional form.
