Abstract
A method for guiding a vehicle in the surrounding environment of an object. The method includes reading in a multiplicity of view ray endpoints in a three-dimensional image, produced by a stereo camera of the vehicle, of a surrounding environment, containing the object, of the vehicle, at least one of the view ray endpoints representing an outer surface of the object, connecting the multiplicity of view ray endpoints to form a polygon that represents a free surface to be traveled by the vehicle, and generating a driving corridor, provided for the vehicle, for driving around the object, based on the free surface.
