Abstract
A method is provided for determining an object class of an object, from which light is emitted and/or reflected to a vehicle. The method has a step of reading in a first brightness value at a first image position in a first image taken using a first vehicle camera and a second brightness value at a second image position in a second image taken using a second vehicle camera. The first and the second image positions represent an identical position associated with the object in the surroundings of the vehicle. The method further has a step of determining the object class of the object, based on a comparison while using the first brightness value and the second brightness value.
Claims8
A method for determining an object class of an object, from which light is at least one of emitted and reflected to a vehicle, the method comprising:
- reading in a first brightness value at a first image position in a first image taken using a first vehicle camera, and a second brightness value at a second image position in a second image taken using a second vehicle camera, the first and second image positions representing an identical position assigned to the object in surroundings of the vehicle;
- detecting the first image position based on a comparison of parameters of a plurality of image points in a first image area in the first image;
- detecting the second image position based on a comparison of parameters of a plurality of image points in a second image area in the second image;
- and
- determining the object class of the object based on a comparison of the first brightness value and the second brightness value.
