Method and device for the distance-based debouncing of light-characteristic changes

摘要

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.

主权项

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 separation in time between the at least two light-characteristic changes, with reference to a speed of the vehicle; debouncing the at least two light-characteristic changes based on the spatial distance; and adjusting a light mode of the host vehicle based on the debouncing of the at least two light-characteristic changes.
