Abstract

A method of processing images in images comprising three-dimensional objects, the method comprising a step of mapping a two-dimensional image on a face of a three-dimensional object, a step of interaction between a user and the two-dimensional image mapped on the three-dimensional image, intended to enable a user to displace the whole or part of the two-dimensional image on the face of the three-dimensional object. This method enables the user to map a fixed 2D image or a video image on a face of a 3D object, and to displace the image as he wishes on the face of the object he has selected. If the image is constituted by several parts, for example, the parts of a puzzle, the user can independently displace each part of this image, for example, so as to reconstitute the initial image of the puzzle.
