Driver assistance device for traffic sign recognition for a motor vehicle and a method for checking a possible misrecognition of a recognized with the driver assistance device traffic sign

摘要

A driver assistance device 1 for traffic sign recognition for a motor vehicle 2 is proposed, with a camera 3 for capturing an image of an environmental region of the motor vehicle, with an evaluation device 4, wherein the evaluation device 4 is designed, a traffic sign potentially contained in the image transmitted by the camera 3 5, wherein the evaluation device 4 can make a check for any misrecognition of the detected traffic sign 5, wherein the detected from the image traffic sign 5 can be checked by means of a comparison with an externally stored traffic sign content, said to be compared traffic sign content with a traffic sign content associated Position position is linked to a communication device 6, wherein the externally stored traffic sign content by means of the communication device 6 is retrievable, wherein the detected from the image traffic sign 5 with a erk Approaching traffic signs associated position position is linked, wherein the detected traffic sign 5 associated position position for querying the externally stored traffic sign content to be compared via the communication device 6 can be transmitted.
