Abstract
In a method for evaluating image data of a vehicle camera, information about raindrops on the vehicle's windshield within the field of view of the camera is taken into account in the evaluation of the image data for detection and classification of objects in the environment of the vehicle. Particularly, for example, depending on the number and the size of the raindrops on the windshield, different detection algorithms, image evaluation criteria, classification parameters, or classification algorithms are used for the detection and classification of objects.
