Abstract

A method is provided for processing image data, wherein the image data are given by an image bitmap including pixels, wherein each pixel has exactly one pixel color value. Regions including pixels having a prespecifiable first color value and a prespecifiable maximum pixel spacing are overwritten by a rectangle having a prespecifiable second color value. This method advantageously allows for anonymization of selected image data on the basis of pixel color values to be carried out. The method may be used universally, independently of the form of the information to be anonymized (e.g., embedded texts, tables, images).
