Abstract: A method for determining a structural image of a pane, the structural image being suitable for the detection of a visibility impairment of the pane, especially raindrops. The method includes a step of removing a background brightness from an image of the pane, on which image a surface of the pane is shown in focus and a background of the pane is shown out of focus, in order to determine a structural image of the pane. In a further step, accentuation of image structures present in the structural image is carried out in order to determine an enhanced structural image of the pane.

Abstract: A method for visually displaying surroundings of a vehicle, includes recording a surrounding image field with a wide-angle lens, rectifying the surrounding image field recorded with the wide-angle lens by producing a display image field, which reproduces the surrounding image field in rectified form, and displaying the display image field. The rectification includes imaging the surrounding image field according to a rectification acting at least in the vertical direction, which shows a lower edge of the recorded surrounding image field on a lower setpoint image edge. The setpoint image edge at least approximately corresponds to an outer contour section of the vehicle. The course of the setpoint image edge differs from the lower edge. The rectification represents continuous imaging for pixels of the surrounding image field which are not on the lower edge. A related device for the visual display of surroundings of a vehicle is also described.

Abstract: A method for assisting a user of a vehicle, in which driving-condition variables (v, a, q, ω, n) are sensed or ascertained via sensors of the vehicle, and a camera of the vehicle covers a coverage area of a road scene at least in front of the vehicle and outputs image signals. Based on the image signals, it is determined whether a further vehicle which is outputting blinking signals is in the coverage area. As a function of the ascertained driving-condition variables (v, a, q, ω, n) of the vehicle and as a function of the determination as to whether other vehicles are indicating a change of direction, information signals, particularly warning signals, are able to be output to the user and/or an automatic driver-assistance control is able to be implemented in which control signals for interventions in a vehicle control for a longitudinal control and/or lateral control, especially a distance control, are output. In this context, in each case different possible control interventions are able to be ascertained and carried out. Furthermore, a corresponding control device and the vehicle thereby made possible are provided.

Abstract: Classification methods are described that proceed in computer-assisted fashion, and in particular a method for evaluation and stabilization over time of classification results is described in which objects to be classified are sensed using sensors over a period of time, and are repeatedly classified with the inclusion of specific quality parameters for each object class. To ensure better classification reliability, the following steps may be carried out: a) increasing the value of the confidence parameter if a subsequent classification confirms the result of a previous classification; b) decreasing the value of the confidence parameter if a subsequent classification does not confirm the result of a previous classification; and c) generating a final classification result including the confidence parameters that have been increased or decreased in value.
