Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for classifying a light object located ahead of a vehicle, the method including a determination of a brightness curve assigned to the light object via at least two images which depict the light object at different times and a combination of the brightness curve with a characteristic brightness curve, in order to classify the light object.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for classifying a light object located ahead of a vehicle, the method comprising: determining, by processing circuitry, a brightness curve assigned to the light object via at least two images, which depict the light object at different times; and combining, by the processing circuitry, the brightness curve with a characteristic brightness curve to classify the light object. 2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: sel…
