METHOD FOR CAPTURING THE SURROUNDINGS USING AT LEAST TWO INDEPENDENT IMAGING SURROUNDINGS CAPTURE SENSORS, APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD, VEHICLE AND APPROPRIATELY DESIGNED COMPUTER PROGRAM

摘要

The invention concerns a method for capturing the surroundings using at least two independent imaging surroundings capture sensors (182, 186), wherein the images from the surroundings capture sensors (182, 186) are evaluated using respective object detection algorithms. For dynamic object detection, repeated successive object detection is performed for the respective surroundings sensor (182, 186), and the object detections are entered with a position statement into an object list (184-3; 184-4) for the respective surroundings capture sensors (182, 186). The accuracy of the object localizations is subsequently increased by means of a sensor data fusion of the object detections that have been related to one another. This takes place dynamically only in a reliability area (RCDR) that is determined by relating the object detections in the object lists (184-3; 184-4). Performance of the sensor data fusion with the object detections that correspond to one another is restricted to the reliability area (RCDR), and outside the reliability area (RCDR) the object localization takes place on the basis of the object detections of the other surroundings capture sensor (186), for which the determined reliability area (NRDR) is not valid.
