Abstract
A method for environmental acquisition for acquiring the surrounding environment of a vehicle. Using a plurality of cameras and/or sensor devices, from at least two positions, images of the surrounding environment are produced, and on the basis of the images a free surface, as well as a contour bounding the free surface, are ascertained. Separately for each image and the contour determined on the basis of this image, for a multiplicity of points along the contour, feature vectors are calculated and entered into a one-dimensional array. Through matching of the one-dimensional arrays, correspondences are sought for which the three-dimensional position is subsequently ascertained by triangulation. A computing unit for carrying out at least individual method steps of the method is also described.
