1. A method for processing a plurality of images, each image of the plurality of images being acquired by a respective image acquisition module of a vehicle and each image acquisition module being oriented outwardly with respect to the vehicle, the method comprising:
elaborating a bird's eye view image of surroundings of the vehicle using pixel values of pixels of at least one portion of each image of the plurality of images as pixel values of the bird's eye view image,
performing, on the bird's eye view image, a detection of at least one lane marked on a surface on which the vehicle is and visible on the bird's eye view image,
wherein the detection is performed based on an indication of whether individual pixels of the bird's eye view image belong to a lane, and
fitting a curve on the lane by determining the curve that minimizes a distance between pixels that belong to the lane and pixels that belong to a curve defined using a mathematical representation of the curve.
