Abstract
A device for detecting rollover includes a stereo camera in the direction of travel. The camera allows the distance to an object outside the vehicle to be measured, and, in each instance, image vectors to this object are calculated. If the vertical component of these image vectors now changes over time, then a rollover event is detected as a function of this change.

5. A device for detecting rollover of a vehicle, comprising:
-
a stereo camera including two image sensors, the stereo camera configured to conduct a distance measurement to an object and to generate image vectors for each image sensor; and
a processor connected to the stereo camera, the processor configured to detect a rollover event from a change in vertical components of the image vectors over time. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
