Publication number: 20230236320Abstract: A device for detecting the surroundings of a vehicle and a method for detecting the surroundings, and a vehicle designed to carry out said method comprise a camera module, a camera control apparatus, an analysis unit and an illumination device. The illumination device is formed by a matrix headlight of the vehicle and is designed such that it can project a light pattern into the surroundings. The projected light pattern is imaged in the detection region of the camera module and the 3D position of measurement points formed by the light pattern in the surroundings is determined by the analysis unit. However, the illumination device projects the light pattern only into regions of the surroundings in which the analysis unit has ascertained, based on image data, a value that is critical for 3D position determination.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2021Publication date: July 27, 2023Applicants: VOLKSWAGEN AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT, AUDI AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Thilo KRAUSE, Markus HEIDRICH, Timo IKEN
