Abstract

A method for determining the orientation of a surface of an object in a detection region before or behind a vehicle by means of a camera of the vehicle comprises the following steps: detecting a first image of the detection region by means of the camera, detecting a second image of the detection region following in time on the detecting of the first image and by means of the camera, generating of first image data corresponding to the first image and second image data corresponding to the second image, determining of eight image coordinates of four pixels each in the first image and the second image, corresponding to four points on the surface of the object, by means of the first image data and the second image data, determining of a normal vector of the surface of the object by means of the eight image coordinates, determining of the orientation of the surface of the object by means of the normal vector.
