Abstract
A method for classifying measuring points of a point cloud ascertained by at least one sensor, in particular, a point cloud ascertained from a LIDAR sensor, a radar sensor and/or a camera sensor, via a control unit. Local surface vectors to adjacent measuring points are ascertained for each measuring point of the point cloud. For each local surface vector, respectively one angle is calculated between the local surface vectors with respect to a gravity vector. A maximal surface vector having a maximal angle with respect to the gravity vector and a standardized surface vector are ascertained for each measuring point of the point cloud based on the calculated angles. Each measuring point of the point cloud includes a standardized surface vector and/or includes a maximal surface vector having an angle with respect to the gravity vector above a limiting value being classified as a non-ground point.
