摘要

The system has a camera (210), and another camera, which are installed on an own vehicle e.g. tractor, and arranged to each other with alignment on a narrow baseline and rearly aligned in front area of the own vehicle, such that an area on a side of the own vehicle and an area over an end of the own vehicle are recognized. A processor recognizes an object or a vehicle and determines an approximate range on the basis of an input image of the cameras. An output device provides information about the object or the vehicle within a pre-determined range of the own vehicle. An independent claim is also included for a method for recognition of obstacles and vehicles regarding an own vehicle.
