Object detection method for vehicles
First Claim
1. A method of detecting an object in a vehicle surroundings for a vehicle, the method comprising:
- cyclically detecting the vehicle'"'"'s surroundings using at least one sensor so as to obtain a plurality of measured values;
providing a freely definable grid including a plurality of cells, each having incremental dimensions in a radial direction and a circumferential direction;
projecting the measured values into the grid;
combining the measured values into at least one grid-based segment;
assigning the grid-based segment at least one identified object;
ascertaining at least one track for the at least one identified object, the at least one track being useable for controlling a vehicle function; and
defining the incremental dimensions so as to differ from one another in at least one of the radial and the circumferential directions so as to functionally optimize a resolution of the object.

Abstract
An object detection method for vehicles, which employs at least one sensor S for cyclically detecting a vehicle'"'"'s surroundings whose measured values M are projected into a freely definable grid G and are combinable into grid-based segments that can be assigned to identified objects O, and, in accordance with which, tracks for these objects O are ascertained which can be used for controlling vehicle functions. The cells Z of the grid G are designed to have incremental dimensions that differ in their incremental dimensions in the radial and/or circumferential direction in such a way that a functionally optimized object resolution is achieved.
