Camera-based method for distance determination in a stationary vehicle

摘要

The invention relates to methods for determining distance, such as are used, for example, in parking assistants. A method according to the invention for a stationary vehicle (100) comprises the following steps: detecting a first predefined event that is related to a pitching movement of the vehicle (100); based on the detection of the first event, activating the camera (110) in order to record a first and a second image of the vehicle environment (122) with a temporal reference to the pitching movement; and processing the first and the second image in order to determine a distance (120) to the object (102) from a displacement of the object (102) in the field of view of the camera (110) between the recording times of the first and the second image due to the nodding movement .
