Abstract
A method for recognizing an intensity of an aerosol in a field of view of a camera of a vehicle includes: reading in image information of an image of the camera, providing a color indicator value for at least one subsection of the image, the color indicator value representing a relation between (i) a first parameter representing a value obtained with application of a first color filter to the image information in the subsection, and (ii) a second parameter representing a value obtained without application of a color filter, or with application of a second color filter differing from the first color filter, and providing a gradient indicator value representing a brightness difference of a different image region of the image, an aerosol intensity value being determined using the color indicator and the gradient indicator values.
