A method for identifying objects begins with capturing an image of an external environment of a vehicle using a capturing unit arranged on the vehicle. An object region within the image is located by a region proposal process, and an object within the object region is classified in a classification process. The region proposal process and/or the classification process is/are implemented in a convolutional neural network. External prior information highlighting a possible object region is supplied to the region proposal process.

Method for identifying objects in an image of a camera

A device for object recognition of an input image includes: a patch selector configured to subdivide the input image into a plurality of zones and to define a plurality of patches for the zones; a voting maps generator configured to generate a set of voting maps for each zone and for each patch, and to binarize the generated set of voting maps; a voting maps combinator configured to combine the binarized set of voting maps; and a supposition generator configured to generate and refine a supposition out of or from the combined, binarized set of voting maps.
