Abstract
A method for establishing data representing an environment below a vehicle include capturing surroundings data representing at least a part of the environment of the vehicle, assigning position information items to the surroundings data, determining a position parameter of the vehicle, and determining vehicle ground data from the surroundings data, wherein the position information items correspond to the position parameter of the vehicle such that the vehicle ground data represent a region of the environment of the vehicle above which the vehicle is currently situated. The vehicle ground data is then output on a display apparatus of the vehicle.
Claims20
A method for establishing data representing an environment below a vehicle, the method comprising the acts of:
- capturing surroundings data representing at least a part of the environment of the vehicle;
- assigning position information items to the surroundings data;
- determining a position parameter of the vehicle;
- determining vehicle ground data from the surroundings data, wherein the position information items correspond to the position parameter of the vehicle such that the vehicle ground data represent a region of the environment of the vehicle above which the vehicle is currently situated;
- and
- outputting the vehicle ground data on a display apparatus of the vehicle.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon program code that, when executed, causes a processor of a vehicle to:
- capture surroundings data representing at least a part of the environment of the vehicle;
- assign position information items to the surroundings data;
- determine a position parameter of the vehicle;
- determine vehicle ground data from the surroundings data, wherein the position information items correspond to the position parameter of the vehicle such that the vehicle ground data represent a region of the environment of the vehicle above which the vehicle is currently situated;
- and
- output the vehicle ground data on a display apparatus of the vehicle.
An apparatus for a vehicle for establishing vehicle ground data representing at least a terrain part below a vehicle, configured to:
- capture surroundings data representing at least a part of the environment of the vehicle;
- assign position information items to the surroundings data;
- determine a position parameter of the vehicle;
- determine vehicle ground data from the surroundings data, wherein the position information items correspond to the position parameter of the vehicle such that the vehicle ground data represent a region of the environment of the vehicle above which the vehicle is currently situated;
- and
- output the vehicle ground data on a display apparatus of the vehicle.
