A method and system of analyzing sequences of road images taken by a camera carried on board of a vehicle. A luminance signal of the road images from which contours of the road are extracted is generated. An analysis of color video signals based on the fact that the colorimetric components of a road region in an image do not include a green or red dominant is then combined with the luminance signal processing, in order to confirm, with good reliability, the limits of the road in the image on the basis of the contours. A mask of the road is then established. This method and system are applicable, in particular, to detecting obstacles on the road, and the information which it generates may be combined with information originating from other detectors in an obstacle detection system applicable to motor vehicle traffic.
