The invention relates to a monitoring devicefor monitoring a man-overboard situation in a ship section, wherein the ship sectionis monitored by video technology using at least one camera, and the camerais designed to provide surveillance in the form of video data. The monitoring device comprises an analysis device, said analysis devicehaving an interfacefor transferring the video data, and the analysis deviceis designed to detect a moving object in the ship sectionon the basis of the video data and determine a kinematic variable of the moving object. The analysis deviceis also designed to determine a scale on the basis of the video data and the kinematic variable in order to determine the extentof the moving object and evaluate the moving object as a man-overboard event on the basis of the extentthereof.

Monitoring device, and method for monitoring a man overboard situation

A method and system for determining free spaces in the vicinity of a motor vehicle, in particular a vicinity relevant to the vehicle operation, is provided. A method and system for determining an evasion trajectory for a driver assistance system of the motor vehicle is provided in which information from at least one object detection sensor of the motor vehicle about at least one detected object is used while taking the characteristics of the physical measuring principle of the at least one object detection sensor into account. A method and system is provided in which it is taken into account that the at least one object detection sensor has the capability of directly detecting a plurality of objects by a single measurement.
