Abstract
A method for ascertaining a height profile of a road situated ahead of a vehicle includes: reading in a movement profile of an object which is provided by an image sensor, the movement profile being read in as a plurality of images; reading in at least one parameter with regard to the object from a parameter sensor which is independent of the image sensor; and determining the height profile of the road situated ahead of the vehicle by using at least one vertical position of the object in the image and the parameter.
