Method for recognizing an object in an image and image recognition device

摘要

A method for recognizing an object in an image and a corresponding image recognition device are provided, in which the object is recognized based on both image data and digital map information that corresponds to an area represented by the image. According to one embodiment, digital map information is evaluated (81) to predict an object position on the image (82), based on which a sub-portion of image data is selected (83). Subsequently, only this sub-portion of the image data has to be analyzed (84) in order to recognize the object (85).
