Abstract
The present invention consists of obtaining from a series of measurements or original images of varying precision of a mobile object, such as a beating heart, a sequence of restored images minimizing an error function comprising an adequation term between the restored images and the measurements, a space moving term of images to be restored and a time smoothing term of restored images, taking account of an evaluation of the movement of the object between the original image during the considered phase of the movement and the image of the object in a neighboring phase.
