Abstract
A method for determining landmarks in an environment of a vehicle is described that comprises capturing of initial environmental data, and determining a least a subset of the initial environmental data. The determined subset is assigned a category from a plurality of different categories. Depending on a landmark type, a category is determined, and landmark detection for the landmark type is carried out restricted to the subset of the determined category. A corresponding system for determining landmarks in an environment of a vehicle is also described.
