The invention relates to a method and a device for determining altitude obstacles. The method includes, for a given geographical area, obtaining (50) digital aerial images of portions of terrain of said geographical area from at least one digital aerial image source, forming a set of digital aerial images covering said geographical area. The method includes applying (54) a first image processing to the digital images of said set of images so as to obtain a first set of obstacles present in said geographical area and an associated first height estimate, then applying (56) a second image processing to the images of said set of digital images so as to obtain a second set of obstacles present in said geographical zone and a second associated height estimate, greater than or equal to said predetermined minimum height. Depending on the first and second height estimates, a consolidated set of altitude obstacles with a height greater than or equal to said predetermined minimum height, present in said geographical area, is obtained (66, 68) and attributes of said altitude obstacles are stored (70).
