Abstract
A method for identifying objects begins with capturing an image of an external environment of a vehicle using a capturing unit arranged on the vehicle. An object region within the image is located by a region proposal process, and an object within the object region is classified in a classification process. The region proposal process and/or the classification process is/are implemented in a convolutional neural network. External prior information highlighting a possible object region is supplied to the region proposal process.
