  • capturing a 3D-image of the environment of the vehicle, the 3D-image representing a predetermined area of the vehicle environment;

    reducing the amount of information acquired in said image capturing step by extracting data from said 3D-image employing a data extraction algorithm; and

    generating a 3D-vector model of the vehicle environment from said data extracted from said 3D-image characterized by the step of;

    determining the data extraction algorithm to be employed in said reducing step based on at least one parameter characterizing the vehicle situation.
