METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EVALUATING BRIGHTNESS VALUES IN SENSOR IMAGES OF IMAGE-EVALUATING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A method for evaluating sensor images of an image-evaluating surroundings-detection system on a moving carrier, wherein the carrier has a driver assistance system, comprising:
- evaluating captured sensor images which are dark in relation to the surroundings in chronologically successive evaluation steps;
determining whether in principle said dark images are moving toward the carrier at a speed of said carrier;
wherein the dark images are detected as shadows of a static object and corresponding signaling is performed, andwherein the driver assistance system comprises a lane-keeping assistance system.

Abstract
A method and an arrangement for evaluating sensor images of an image-evaluating surroundings-detection system on a moved carrier, preferably a vehicle (1), are proposed, wherein areas in the sensor images captured by a camera (4) which are dark in relation to the surroundings are evaluated in chronologically successive evaluation steps in order to determine whether said dark areas are moving toward the carrier at the speed of said carrier, and in that these dark areas are detected as shadows (7) of a static object and corresponding signaling is performed.

9. An arrangement for evaluating sensor images of an image-evaluating surroundings-detection system on a moving carrier, comprising:
-
an electronic camera of the image-evaluating surroundings-detection system which is mounted on a vehicle as a carrier, wherein the camera is configured to continuously capture an area of the vehicle which is at the front in a direction of travel on a roadway wherein, in each case, a sensor image comprising pixels and whose brightness values and color values depict the surroundings is present, an evaluation unit is configured to detect dark areas in the sensor image of the camera as shadows of a static object, and configured to perform corresponding signaling based on the detected dark areas, wherein the vehicle has a driver assistance system comprising a lane-keeping assistance system. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
