Abstract
A motor vehicle has an imaging device for generating an image of a radiation pattern on the terrain surrounding the motor vehicle. A detecting device is provided for the multiple sequential detection of images of the radiation patterns that are influenced by the terrain. A processor device is also provided. The processing device is designed such that an obstacle in the terrain is detected based on the difference between directly or indirectly sequentially detected images of the radiation pattern.
Claims19
A motor vehicle, comprising:
- an imaging device operatively configured to generate an image of a radiation pattern in an environment of the motor vehicle;
- a detecting device operatively configured for multiple, sequential detection of images of the radiation pattern influenced by the environment;
- and
- a processor operatively configured to detect an obstacle in the environment on the basis of a difference between images detected at different times or sequential images of the radiation pattern.
