Abstract
A method for evaluating sensor data. The sensor data are ascertained by scanning a surrounding area, using at least one sensor. On the basis of the sensor data, object detection is carried out for determining objects from the sensor data. Object filtering is carried out. Surface characteristics of at least one object are identified, and/or the surface characteristics of at least one object are ascertained with the aid of access to a database. A control unit is also described.
Claims8
A method for evaluating sensor data on a road, the method comprising:
- ascertaining sensor data by scanning a surrounding area, using at least one sensor;
- based on the sensor data, carrying out object detection for determining objects from the sensor data;
- carrying out object filtering;
- and
- identifying surface characteristics of at least one object, and/or the surface characteristics of the at least one object are ascertained by using access to a database;
- wherein the road has lanes which are set apart from one another by a roadway divider having specular characteristics, and
- wherein at least one phantom object in the sensor data is removed or a position thereof is corrected based on the ascertained surface characteristics of the at least one object by triangulation.
4 more elements
An apparatus for coupling to at least one sensor comprising:
- a control unit configured for fetching out sensor data on a road of the at least one sensor, and evaluating the sensor data, by performing the following:
- ascertaining the sensor data by scanning a surrounding area, using the at least one sensor;
- based on the sensor data, carrying out object detection for determining objects from the sensor data;
- carrying out object filtering;
- and
- identifying surface characteristics of at least one object, and/or ascertaining the surface characteristics of the at least one object by accessing a database;
- wherein the road has lanes which are set apart from one another by a roadway divider having specular characteristics, and
- wherein at least one phantom object in the sensor data is removed or a position thereof is corrected based on the ascertained surface characteristics of the at least one object by triangulation.
