More Information
Summary:A method for detecting an object captured by a camera in an environmental region of a vehicle based on a temporal sequence of images of the environmental region is disclosed. An electronic evaluation device is used to determine at least one characteristic pixel of the object in a first image of the sequence of images, and the determined characteristic pixel is tracked in at least a second image and a flow vector each having a vertical component and a horizontal component is provided by the tracking. A first depth component, which is perpendicular to the vertical component and the horizontal component, is determined based on the vertical component, and a second depth component, perpendicular to the vertical component and the horizontal component, is determined based on the horizontal component. When the first and second depth component correspond within a tolerance range, a validated final depth component is provided.
