Abstract
Disclosed is a method for camera-based determination of distance of a moving object in the surroundings of a vehicle, wherein surroundings images of the surroundings are captured using a camera, wherein the moving object and at least one stationary object are identified in the surroundings images and a stationary object is selected using a distinguished geometric relationship, wherein an image size ratio between the moving object and the stationary object is determined, wherein an image size of the stationary object in the second surroundings image is determined, wherein distances of the stationary object and an object size of the stationary object are determined on the basis of the determined image sizes of the stationary object and a vehicle speed, and wherein distances of the moving object are determined on the basis of the determined image size ratio, the determined distances and the determined object size of the stationary object.
