    摘要: A method for calibrating image data of an imaging system for a vehicle combination, including a first part of the tractor trailer, which encompasses the imaging system, and a second part which encompasses a calibration object, the second part being mechanically coupled to the first part so as to be movable about at least one axis. The imaging system is configured to at least partially representing the second part. The method includes: providing at least one image of the imaging system, which represents the calibration object; identifying the calibration object within the image; identifying a characteristic variable of the calibration object within the image; determining a deviation of the characteristic variable from a stored characteristic setpoint variable; generating calibrated image data by transforming the image data of the imaging system, depending on the deviation of the characteristic variable from the stored characteristic setpoint variable to compensate for the deviation.

    摘要: A method and a device for operating a tractor including a trailer. The method includes detecting the surroundings behind the tractor through the clearance underneath the trailer using a surroundings sensor system, which, for this purpose, is mounted close to the roadway surface from the tractor, in particular underneath a connection between the tractor and the trailer, the surroundings sensor system including at least one video sensor. The method further includes determining objects in these surroundings, which are not encompassed by the trailer, by recognizing individual, in particular moving, integral parts of the trailer as such and excluding these in a targeted manner, determining a driving strategy for the tractor depending on the objects in the surroundings, and operating the tractor depending on the driving strategy.

    摘要: A method for monitoring a sensor system. Sensor data of the sensor system are read in and information of the sensor data from different elevations of the sensor data is projected as image data into an azimuthal image plane. The information from at least two image areas of the image plane is evaluated in a spatially resolved manner in order to recognize a local sensor blindness of the sensor system. A blindness notification for an image area is output if the sensor blindness is recognized in the image area.

    摘要: A method for optimizing a surroundings model by at least one control unit, measured data being received from a first sensor set and at least one second sensor set. The first sensor set includes a first scanning area, and the second sensor set includes a second scanning area, the first scanning area and the second scanning area partially overlapping in an overlap area. A surroundings model is created for each sensor set based on the received measured data of the particular sensor set. The at least two surroundings models are compared to one another based on the overlap area and being verified. The at least two surroundings models are combined into an optimized surroundings model. A system, a control unit, a computer program, and a machine-readable memory medium, are also described.

    摘要: A method and a device for operating an automated vehicle are provided. The method includes a step of receiving a first position of the automated vehicle, a step of receiving environment data values, the environment data values representing an environment of the automated vehicle, a step of detecting at least one further vehicle in the environment of the automated vehicle, and a step of generating a digital environment model, starting from a digital map, based on the environment data values and as a function of the first position of the automated vehicle. The environment model comprises the automated vehicle, the at least one further vehicle, and at least one simulated object in the environment of the automated vehicle. The method also includes a step of operating the automated vehicle as a function of the digital environment model.
