Abstract
A method for detecting a curbstone in an environment of a vehicle. The method includes recognizing at least one line segment that belongs to the curbstone with the aid of image data that are read in by an interface to a camera device of the vehicle. The line segment is projected onto a ground plane of the environment in order to generate a projected line segment. A subset of a plurality of three-dimensionally triangulated points in the environment of the vehicle is assigned to the line segment as a function of a position of the points relative to a position of the camera device, relative to a starting point of the projected line segment, and relative to an end point of the projected line segment. A flank plane of the curbstone is ascertained with the aid of the assigned points.
