ESTIMATION OF COEFFICIENTS OF FRICTION USING A 3-D CAMERA

摘要

The invention relates to a method and device for estimating coefficients of friction using a 3-D camera. At least one image of the environment of the vehicle is recorded by means of the 3-D camera. A height profile of the road surface is created in the entire area in front of the vehicle from the image data of the 3-D camera. The anticipated local coefficient of friction of the road surface in the area in front of the vehicle is estimated from the height profile.
