Abstract
A method for determining relevant objects in a vehicle moving on a roadway An assistance function is executed in relation to a position of a relevant object, and the relevant objects are determined on the basis of an image evaluation of images of a surrounding area of the vehicle. The images are detected by way of camera sensors. By way of a radar sensor positions of stationary objects in the surrounding area of the vehicle are determined. A profile of a roadway edge is determined using the positions of the stationary objects and that the image evaluation is carried out in relation to the roadway edge profile determined. A driver assistance system suitable for carrying out the method is also described.

16. A method for determining relevant objects for a vehicle moving on a roadway, comprising:
-
carrying out an assistance function in relation to a position of a relevant object, determining the relevant objects on the basis of an image evaluation of images of a surrounding area of the vehicle, said images being detected by way of camera sensors, determining positions of stationary objects in the surrounding area of the vehicle by way of a radar sensor, determining a profile of a roadway edge using the positions of the stationary objects, and carrying out the image evaluation in relation to the determined roadway edge profile. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. A driver assistance system for a vehicle moving on a roadway comprising:
-
a camera sensor for detecting camera images of a surrounding area of the vehicle, an evaluation unit configured to determine relevant objects on the basis of the camera images, an assistance device coupled with the evaluation unit and configured to execute an assistance function depending on a position of a relevant object, a radar sensor for detecting objects in the surrounding area of the vehicle, and an estimator configured to determine a profile of a roadway edge on the basis of positions of stationary objects detected by the radar sensor and wherein the image evaluation in the evaluation unit is feasible depending on the determined roadway edge profile.
