Abstract
A method is described for interpreting a surrounding environment of a vehicle. The method includes a step of providing an image of the surrounding environment of the vehicle, a step of forming an item of relational information using a first position of a first object in the image and a second position of a second object in the image, the item of relational information representing a spatial relation between the first object and the second object in the surrounding environment of the vehicle, and a step of use of the item of relational information in order to interpret the surrounding environment of the vehicle.
Claims12
A method for interpreting a surrounding environment of a vehicle, comprising:
- providing a video image of the surrounding environment of the vehicle;
- forming an item of relational information, using a first position of a first object, in the video image, and a second position of a second object in the video image, wherein the item of relational information represents a spatial relation between the first object and the second object in the surrounding environment of the vehicle;
- and
- using the item of relational information to interpret the surrounding environment;
- wherein the video image includes a central-perspective image of a driving scene.
A device for interpreting a surrounding environment of a vehicle, comprising:
- an arrangement configured to perform the following:
- a video image of the surrounding environment of the vehicle;
- forming an item of relational information, using a first position of a first object, in the video image, and a second position of a second object in the video image, wherein the item of relational information represents a spatial relation between the first object and the second object in the surrounding environment of the vehicle;
- and
- using the item of relational information to interpret the surrounding environment;
- wherein the video image includes a central-perspective image of a driving scene.
A vehicle, comprising:
- an optical sensor, which includes a video camera;
- a driver assistance system;
- and
- a device connected electrically and conductively to at least one of the optical sensor and the driver assistance system, the device being for interpreting a surrounding environment of a vehicle, and configured for performing the following:
- providing a video image of the surrounding environment of the vehicle;
- forming an item of relational information, using a first position of a first object, in the video image, and a second position of a second object in the video image, wherein the item of relational information represents a spatial relation between the first object and the second object in the surrounding environment of the vehicle;
- and
- using the item of relational information to interpret the surrounding environment;
- wherein the video image includes a central-perspective image of a driving scene.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having a computer program, which is executable by a processor, comprising:
- a program code arrangement having program code for interpreting a surrounding environment of a vehicle, by performing the following:
- providing a video image of the surrounding environment of the vehicle;
- forming an item of relational information, using a first position of a first object, in the video image, and a second position of a second object in the video image, wherein the item of relational information represents a spatial relation between the first object and the second object in the surrounding environment of the vehicle;
- and
- using the item of relational information to interpret the surrounding environment;
- wherein the video image includes a central-perspective image of a driving scene.
