Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In a method for debouncing light-characteristic changes (e.g., streetlights, headlights of other vehicles), which are ascertained from image data of a camera for a vehicle, light-characteristic changes are identified in a continuous image sequence and a distance in time is determined between the light-characteristic changes. A spatial distance between the light-characteristic changes is determined with reference to the speed of the vehicle and from the distance in time between the light-characteristic changes. The debouncing is based on the spatial distance.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for debouncing at least two light-characteristic changes ascertained from image data of at least one camera for a host vehicle, comprising: identifying the at least two light-characteristic changes in a continuous image sequence of the at least one camera; determining a separation in time between the at least two light-characteristic changes; determining a spatial distance between the at least two light-characteristic changes based on the separa…
