Method for displaying images having a modified aspect ratio

The method involves detecting an original image (1) with multiple pixels, and determining a main region (5) in the image that is to be displayed without deformation, and one or more adjacent regions that can be displayed with deformation. A display format corresponding to the physical format of a display unit is determined. The original image is transformed by determining the display coordinates from the original coordinates using a deformation function. An Independent claim is included for an image processing system.
