Abstract: A method is provided for the spatial characterization of at least one vehicle image of image information, wherein the image information encompasses the vehicle image of an external vehicle and an environment image of an environment of the external vehicle. The method comprises: determining a bounding box for the vehicle image, in order to use the bounding box for a delimiting of the vehicle image from the environment image, determining a splitting line for the bounding box, in order to use the splitting line for a partitioning of the vehicle image into at least two vehicle sides, determining the spatial characterization with the aid of the bounding box and the splitting line, wherein at least one evaluation means based on machine learning, especially a neural network, is used for the determining of the bounding box and the splitting line.
