Abstract: An obstacle detection procedure within the area surrounding a motor vehicle comprising the following stages: carrying out a first obstacle detection by image processing resulting in a definition of at least one region of interest, classifying the detected obstacle with an index of confidence applied to the region of interest in relation to given characteristics, carrying out a second obstacle detection by sensor/s with detection range below a first threshold resulting in a determined position, projecting the determined position into a reference marker, projecting the region of interest into this reference marker and aligning the two projections obtained and attributing a determined position to the obstacle classified in accordance with the alignment.

Abstract: An obstacle detection procedure and detection device within the area surrounding a motor vehicle featuring the following: to define at least one first region of interest by carrying out a first detection of an obstacle by shape recognition in an acquired image of this environment; to define at least one second region of interest by carrying out a second detection of an obstacle by movement detection in relation to the vehicle on a sequence of acquired images of this environment; to classify the detected obstacle with, respectively, a first and second index of confidence applied to the first and second regions of interest in relation to given characteristics; and to validate the classification of the object detected in relation to these indices of confidence and in relation to these regions of interest resulting in validated regions of interest.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for generating and supplying traffic-relevant information, wherein each of a plurality of road users (10.1, 10.2) is provided with a mobile communications unit with which individual movement data (10.5) is wirelessly transmitted to a central processing system (20). The individual movement data (10.5) of the plurality of road users (10.1, 10.2) is collected and processed to location-specific and/or route-specific traffic-relevant information (30.1, 30.2), which relates to individual route sections or a road network (5). Upon request (10.7), the location-specific and/or route-specific traffic-relevant information (30.1, 30.2) is transmitted from the central processing system (20) to the mobile communications units. In order to increase and improve the information content of the traffic-relevant information that has been generated and supplied, the individual movement data (10.
