Abstract
The invention relates to a method for the classification of parking spaces in a surrounding region of a vehicle with a driver support system, wherein the vehicle comprises at least one first surroundings sensor and a second surroundings sensor, comprising the steps of receiving first sensor data out of the surrounding region by the driver support system from the at least one first surroundings sensor, recognizing a parking-space-like partial region of the surrounding region in the first sensor data, requesting second sensor data acquired by the at least one second surroundings sensor out of the parking-space-like partial region by the driver support system as soon as the parking-space-like partial region is recognized in the first sensor data, transmitting the requested second sensor data to a vehicle-side computing unit comprising a deep neural network (DNN), and classifying the parking-space-like partial region into categories with the DNN, wherein the categories comprise legal, parkable parking spaces and illegal, non-parkable parking spaces. The invention also relates to a driver support system, in particular a parking assistance system, for a vehicle for the acquisition of parking spaces. The invention further relates to a vehicle with a driver support system.
