Abstract:
A device for detecting a vehicle passing by a vehicle in the dark. A camera detects a light cone that is moving at a lateral offset relative to the vehicle. An analyzer device assigns the relatively moving light cone to the passing vehicle.
Abstract:
A method for providing assistance during a parking maneuver of a motor vehicle into a parking space. The parking space and a boundary object located in the area of the parking space being detected by a sensor array while the vehicle is driving by the parking space. To simplify the parking maneuver, a boundary object type is assigned to the detected boundary object, and parking information relating to the feasibility of a parking maneuver into the parking space is generated. Furthermore, a device for providing assistance during a parking maneuver of a motor vehicle, into a parking space, having a sensor array for detecting a parking space and a boundary object located in the area of the parking space while the vehicle is driving by the parking space, having an analyzer unit connected to the sensor array, and having a memory unit.
Abstract:
A method and device for distinguishing a self-luminous object from a reflecting object in a detection range of a camera of a vehicle having at least one headlight, when the object is illuminated by the headlight, are described. The method includes a step of receiving a relative position of the object with respect to the vehicle and a brightness value of the object from the camera. Furthermore, the method includes a step of comparing the brightness value to a self-luminous value expected at the relative position and a reflection value expected at the relative position. Moreover, the method includes a step of classifying the object as self-luminous, if the brightness value is within a self-luminous tolerance range about the self-luminous value or as reflecting, if the brightness value is within a reflection tolerance range about the reflection value.
