A method for classifying a behavior, of a pedestrian when crossing a roadway of a vehicle, includes reading in a sensor signal to detect the pedestrian and at least one piece of surroundings information regarding surroundings of the pedestrian. The sensor signal represents here a signal of at least one sensor of the vehicle. The method further includes ascertaining at least one physical variable of a correlation between the pedestrian and the at least one piece of surroundings information. Finally, the method includes classifying the behavior of the pedestrian using the at least one physical variable.

Method and device for classifying a behavior of a pedestrian when crossing a roadway of a vehicle as well as passenger protection system of a vehicle

An image-processing method, and an apparatus for carrying out the method, that is used particularly for detecting and recognizing objects in traffic. Locally-softened feature images of an image scene are correlated with feature images of patterns for detecting and recognizing objects in real scenes with the use of images. A plurality of patterns ordered in a pattern tree structure is correlated with the image scene. To extensively prevent erroneous detections, the features are subdivided into different feature types.
