Environment detection in front of the direction and environment detection method for the detection of a surrounding area of a motor vehicle

摘要

The present invention relates to an environment detection in front of the direction of the detection of a surrounding area of a motor vehicle (10) with a radiation source (12) for the illumination of the surrounding area of the motor vehicle (10) and with a receiving unit (18) for receiving image data of the surrounding area of the motor vehicle (10), wherein the radiation source (12) is adapted to radiation pulses with intervening intervals, the duration of the radiation pulses and the duration of the intervals is such that a human eye perceives a radiation intensity which is less than an actual radiation intensity of the individual radiation pulses and which the human eye does not blind, wherein the recording unit (18) is designed in such a manner that they, the image data from the illuminated area in each case by a radiation pulse receives. The present invention also relates to a corresponding environment detection method.
