A method for identifying potentially hazardous or at-risk objects in the surroundings of a vehicle. The method includes detecting an area of the surroundings using at least one event-based sensor, the event-based sensor including light-sensitive pixels, and a relative change of the light intensity incident upon a pixel by at least a predefined percentage prompting the sensor to output an event assigned to this pixel. The method also includes assigning events output by the sensor to objects in the area; analyzing, for at least one object to which events are assigned, the events assigned to the object with respect to present movements of the object; and ascertaining an impending movement of the object, and/or an impending change of state, of the object from the present movements. An associated computer program is also described.

Quick identification of hazardous or at-risk objects in the surroundings of a vehicle

A system () for detecting dynamic secondary objects () that have a potential to intersect the trajectory () of a moving primary object (), comprising a vision sensor () with a light-sensitive area () that comprises event-based pixels (), so that a relative change in the light intensity impinging onto an event-based pixel () of the vision sensor () by at least a predetermined percentage causes the vision sensor () to emit an event () associated with this event-based pixel (), wherein the system () further comprises a discriminator module () that gets both the stream of events () from the vision sensor () and information () about the heading and/or speed of the motion of the primary object () as inputs, and is configured to identify, from said stream of events (), based at least in part on said information (), events () that are likely to be caused by the motion of a secondary object (), rather than by the motion of the primary object (). Vision sensors () for use in the system (). A corresponding computer program.

Fast detection of secondary objects that may intersect the trajectory of a moving primary object

A method is described for updating a digital map for vehicle navigation. The method includes a step of determining an adjustment signal for adjusting a detection range of an environment sensor of a vehicle to a section of an environment of the vehicle that corresponds to an area of the digital map to be updated, using an item of information about the area to be updated, and the method including a step of supplying area data for updating the digital map, the area data representing an image of the section of the environment detected by the environment sensor.

A method for uploading data of a motor vehicle, including the steps: acquiring surrounding-area data of the motor vehicle with the aid of a sensor device; generating a locational reference for the acquired surrounding-area data; evaluating the acquired surrounding-area data by comparing the acquired surrounding-area data to known surrounding-area data of a data storage unit of a server device; and uploading the acquired surrounding-area data to the server device () as a function of the evaluation.

A method of an automated motor vehicle for optimized communication from a server of localization reference data for a defined location includes a sensor of the motor vehicle capturing driving environment data, linking the captured driving environment data to location information, based on the linking, localizing the motor vehicle at an achieved localization accuracy, identifying a setpoint localization accuracy at which an operation of the motor vehicle is to be performed, signaling to the server the achieved localization accuracy, and transmitting to the server a request for the localization reference data at the setpoint localization accuracy based on the signaled achieved localization accuracy.

Method for localizing an automated motor vehicle

A method for transmitting, receiving and processing data values, including detecting first data values, which represent at least one first transition from an automated operation of at least one first automated vehicle to a manual operation of the at least one first automated vehicle. The method also includes transmitting the first data values, receiving the first data values and a step of processing the first data values, and a transmission device and a receiving device for carrying out the method for transmitting, receiving and processing data values.

A method for providing driving-environment data for a driver-assist system on board a motor vehicle includes determining a route to be traveled; providing driving-environment data along the determined route, driving-environment data along an initial section of a road deviating from the route additionally being provided; determining that the motor vehicle is traveling on the road; determining a new route that includes the traveled road; and providing driving-environment data along the new route.
