METHOD FOR MANAGING IMAGE DATA, AND VEHICLE LIGHTING SYSTEM

The invention relates to a method for managing image data in an motor vehicle lighting system, the lighting system including at least one lighting module intended to project light beams generated on the basis of data relating to the selection of at least one image. The method including receiving an instruction to activate at least one image to be projected, converting the original image into N grey levels, determining, for each pixel in each row in the matrix, whether the pixel under analysis is a significant point of inflection, storing the pixel under analysis as a compressed pixel in a list when the pixel under analysis is considered to be a significant point of inflection, and transmitting the list to the at least one lighting module so that it is able to project a resulting image.
