A method for calibrating a vehicle camera of a vehicle includes at least one task of reading in and one task of setting. In the reading in, at least one first camera image and one second camera image are read in, which represent images recorded by at least the vehicle camera during a camera movement of the vehicle camera at a standstill of the vehicle. In the setting, a calibration parameter for calibrating at least the vehicle camera is set, using the first camera image and the second camera image.

An antenna has an antenna body having a plurality of first antenna elements, which are disposed along a first straight line. A hollow conductor, which extends between the first antenna elements, is disposed in the antenna body. The first antenna elements are developed as openings running between the hollow conductor and a surface of the antenna body. The antenna is designed to radiate a signal in a spatial direction that is a function of a frequency of the signal. The antenna body has an electrically insulating material that is coated with a conductive material.

A method for determining processed image data about a surround field of a vehicle includes a step of combining a map information item with a position and an orientation of the vehicle and with an image of the surround field acquired by a surround-field monitoring device of the vehicle, in order to obtain a position-specific image of the surround field. In addition, the method includes a step of processing the position-specific image so as to include at least one symbol that is assigned to a classified object in the position-specific image, in order to determine the processed image data.

An antenna has an antenna body having a plurality of first antenna elements situated along a first straight line. The antenna body includes a first conductive grounded surface and a second conductive grounded surface, the first and second grounded surfaces being situated essentially parallel to one another. A dielectric is situated between the first and second grounded surfaces. A signal conductor is also situated between the first and second grounded surfaces. The first antenna elements are designed as apertures situated above the signal conductor in the first grounded surface. Furthermore, the antenna is designed to emit a signal in a direction in space, depending on a frequency of the signal. At least two of the first antenna elements differ from one another in such a way that their power emissions are different.

An FMCW radar locating device includes a transmitting device having a controllable transmitting-signal-generating device generating a transmitting signal having a frequency corresponding to an input control signal; a control device connected to the transmitting-signal-generating device and generating the input control signal which controls the transmitting signal such that it rises periodically in a discontinuous, inconsistent linear fashion in first frequency segments, and drops periodically in a discontinuous, inconsistent linear fashion in second frequency segments; and a receiving device for receiving an echo signal reflected by an object and locating an object based on the received echo signal.

In a method for checking the plausibility of objects in driver assistance systems for motor vehicles is described, two measured variables are derived from position data from two object position-finding systems of the vehicle that operate independently of one another, for an object located by the two position-finding systems, one variable for each position-finding system, these variables representing one and the same physical parameter, and the two measured variables are then checked for consistency, which is characterized by the fact that the parameter is the time to collision of the vehicle with the object, which is calculated in advance.

A method and a device are described for calibrating at least two sensors, the sensors being of a different sensor type. The sensors may be located in or on a motor vehicle. It is possible to calibrate the at least two sensors in one operation by using a calibration object containing reference features for determining calibration data for the at least two sensors.
