Method and system for creating a digital map

A system for creating a digital map, the system comprising:

• at least one mobile device having:
• at least one camera for capturing an image sequence of an environment of the at least one mobile device,
• an evaluation unit, and
• a transmitting device for communicating with a map creation device,
• wherein the evaluation unit identifies and classifies objects in the captured image sequence, determines object positions of the objects relative to the mobile device, defines a section in the environment, the section having a predetermined size and predetermined boundaries, assigns identified and classified objects to the determined object positions in the defined section, determines a lane of the motorized transportation vehicle present in a section, transmits object information and the object positions of the identified and classified objects, section information relating to the defined section, lane information and an item of time information to the map creation device by the transmitting device, and repeats the preceding operations to define further sections of the environment, and
• wherein the map creation device (3) which receives the object information and the object positions, the section information, the lane information and the time information for each of the sections from the at least one mobile device, compares the individual sections with one another based on the object information and object positions, the section information, the lane information and the time information, joins the sections of the at least one mobile device at their respectively adjacent boundaries, and merges the joined sections of the at least one mobile device to form a digital map.
