Abstract
A method for the geometric transformation of a compressed image, stored on a source appliance connected to one or more other appliances by a computer communication network, comprising the steps of choosing a set of appliances in the computer communication network adapted to implement a geometric transformation of an image in compressed form; selecting an appliance in the set for implementing the geometric transformation of the image in compressed form; of transmitting the compressed image to the selected appliance if it is different from the source appliance; and geometrically transforming the image in compressed form by means of the selected appliance. This method is used notably for a computer and printer installed on a network.
