The invention relates to a method for providing corrected data in order to generate a model of a monitoring area which is located in the respective visual range of at least two opto-electronic sensors for determining the position of detected objects, based on the amounts of raw data elements corresponding to object points in said monitoring area, said amounts of raw data elements being respectively detected by one of the sensors when the visual range is sensed and associated therewith, and the amounts of raw data elements from various sensors which are temporally linked to each other forming a group. The raw data elements corresponding to said amounts respectively comprise at least the coordinates of object points detected by the associated sensor in relation to the position of the detecting sensor. In order to form corrected amounts of corrected data elements corresponding to the amounts of raw data elements of a group for each group quantity, the coordinates contained in the raw data elements are transformed into a common coordinate system, taking into account the relative position of the respective sensors.

Correction method for data of a plurality of optoelectronic sensors

The invention relates to a method for optically sensing the surrounding area of a vehicle using at least one optoelectronic emitting/receiving device that is mounted on the vehicle. According to the method, a monitoring area located in the field of vision of the emitting/receiving device is scanned and, in addition to the monitoring area, a region of particular interest is scanned by using at least one radiation deflecting device, which is located in the field of vision of the emitting/receiving device, however, outside of the monitoring area. The invention also relates to a corresponding sensing device.
