Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting a pedestrian (27) moving in an environmental region of a motor vehicle relatively to the motor vehicle based on a temporal sequence of images (18) of the environmental region, which are provided by means of a camera of the motor vehicle (1), wherein characteristic features are extracted from the images (18) and a plurality of optical flow vectors is determined to the characteristic features of at least two consecutively captured images of the sequence by means of an image processing device of the motor vehicle, which indicate a movement of the respective characteristic features over the sequence, wherein for detecting the pedestrian (27), several confidence metrics are determined based on the characteristic features and the optical flow vectors, and based on the confidence metrics, it is examined if a preset plausibility check criterion required for the detection of the pedestrian (27) is satisfied, wherein the pedestrian (27) is supposed to be detected if the p

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the validity of a measured sharpness of a fixed-focus camera (8), in which a first image of an object (13) is captured by the camera (8) and the sharpness of the image is determined, wherein an additional first optical element (15, 15?) is introduced into the optical path of the camera (8) and a second image of the object (13) is captured and the sharpness of the second image is determined, wherein depending on the comparison of the sharpnesses of at least the two images, the presence of an imaging error of the camera (8) is identified. The invention also relates to a device for testing the sharpness of a fixed-focus camera, a fixed-focus camera as well as the use of a test device for a fixed-focus camera in a vehicle and a method for assembling a fixed-focus camera.
