Abstract
In a method for debouncing light-characteristic changes (e.g., streetlights, headlights of other vehicles), which are ascertained from image data of a camera for a vehicle, light-characteristic changes are identified in a continuous image sequence and a distance in time is determined between the light-characteristic changes. A spatial distance between the light-characteristic changes is determined with reference to the speed of the vehicle and from the distance in time between the light-characteristic changes. The debouncing is based on the spatial distance.
