Abstract
A method of processing images allowing the identification of at least one same point appearing on each image of a sequence of images, the sequence of images including a first image, a second image and a third image generated respectively at a first instant, a second instant, later than the first instant, and a third instant, later than the second instant, by a camera mounted in an automotive vehicle. The method includes detecting a plurality of identical points in each image of the sequence of images, relating to a plurality of repetitive patterns in each image of the sequence of images and of identification, in the second image and in the third image, of the identical points corresponding to the points in space for which the calculated depth is identical, these points in space representing respectively in the second image and the third image one and the same real point.
