Image data processing method and corresponding device

The invention relates to an image data processing method receiving an input image data splitted in elementary unit of information and providing an output image data with a particular image format depending on the requirements of a final device that receive such output image data by means of the following steps: step 1) identification of the final device that receives the output data; step 2) get an input image data; step 3) from a repository of basic imaging operation selecting a plurality of operations to be performed on the input image data; step 4) creating a sequence of operations that links and ordinate the plurality of operations; step 5) applying the sequence to the input image data to create a plurality of layers of organized data of said input image data; step 6) assembling said plurality of layers into at least an output layer which best fit the requirements of the identified final device; and step 7) sending the assembled output layer to the identified final device. The invention also relates to a configurable image processing device (21) to read and output an image data comprising input means to get an input image and output means for providing a particular output format depending on a final device that receive the output image data, selection means to select a particular group of atomic operations to be performed on the basis of the final device performance, so creating a specific sequence providing meaningful information for the selected device.
