The first H·E·S·S· telescope has been in operation on-site in Namibia since June, 2002. With its fine-grain camera (0.16° pixelization) and large mirror lightcollection area (107m2 ), it is able to see more detailed structures in the Cherenkov shower images than are characterized by the standard moment-based (Hillas) image analysis. Here we report on the application of the analysis method developed for the CAT detector (Cherenkov Array at Themis) which has been adapted for the H·E·S·S· site and telescopes. The performance of the method as compared to the standard image analysis, in particular regarding background rejection and energy resolution, is presented. Preliminary comparisons between the predicted performance of the method based on Monte Carlo simulation and the results of the application of the method to data from the Crab Nebula are shown.
