Method for capturing the surroundings using at least two independent imaging surroundings capture sensors, apparatus for performing the method, vehicle and appropriately designed computer program

Abstract

A method for environment perception with at least two independent imaging environment perception sensors, including analyzing images from the environment perception sensors by respective object detection algorithms, performing object detection repeatedly in succession for the respective environment sensors for dynamic object detection, entering the object detections together with position information in one or more object lists, correlating the object detections in the one or more object lists with one another, increasing an accuracy of object localizations by sensor fusion of the correlated object detections, determining a reliability region regarding each object detection by at least one environment perception sensor, and confining the sensor fusion of the object detections to the reliability region, wherein outside the reliability region, object localization takes place on the basis of the object detections by the at least one environment perception sensor to which the determined reliability region does not apply.
