Abstract
The invention relates to a method for detecting an object () alongside a road () of a motor vehicle () based on at least two images () of an environmental region () of the motor vehicle () consecutively captured by at least one vehicle-side camera () for extrinsic calibration of the at least one camera (), wherein the images () at least partially display a texture of a road surface () and wherein the following steps are performed: a) determining at least two mutually corresponding blocks () based on the at least two images (); b) determining respective motion vectors for each of the at least two pairs of mutually corresponding blocks (); c) determining a depth information concerning the at least two images () based on the at least two motion vectors; d) detecting the object () based on the depth information. The invention also relates to a computing device (), a driver assistance system () as well as a motor vehicle ().
