A method of recognizing edges in a camera image (A) produced by a camera, includes steps of: assigning (S) a respective scaling size to each pixel (aij) of the camera image (A) as a function of an object distance, relative to the camera, of a spatial region imaged in the respective pixel (aij); producing (S) an integral image (B) from the camera image (A); applying (S) Haar wavelet transforms to the pixels (bij) of the integral image (B) to generate a gradient image (C), wherein a scaling of the Haar wavelets is determined for each pixel (bij) of the integral image (B) taking account of the scaling size assigned to the corresponding pixel (aij) of the camera image (A); and recognizing (S) edges in the camera image (A) using the generated gradient image (C).

Method and apparatus for recognizing edges in a camera image, and vehicle

A driver assistance system for controlling a high beam, including an environment detecting device. At least one radar or lidar sensor system as well as a camera sensor system are provided for detecting the environment in front of the vehicle. A control signal for a high beam controller or warning device is generated when the high beam is active and at least one sensor system for detecting the environment simultaneously detects a potentially dazzled object.
