Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for the detection and determination of the height of objects by means of an environment detection system, including a first environment detection sensor and a second environment detection sensor of a vehicle, wherein at least one of the environment detection sensors is a mono camera. The method includes the following steps: capturing a mono image using the camera; capturing an environment representation using the second environment detection sensor; carrying out object detection in the mono image; carrying out object detection in the environment representation of the second environment detection sensor; measuring the distance from the object in the environment representation of the second environment detection sensor; and carrying out height determination of the detected object.

Abstract: A method for creating a lane model by at least one first and at least one second environment detection sensor of an ego-vehicle, including: recording the environment of the ego-vehicle with the at least one first and the at least one second environment detection sensor; evaluating the sensor data from the sensor recording; determining a roadway from the sensor data; extracting detections of the at least one first environment detection sensor, which may be assigned to the roadway; estimating a ground plane and/or ground curvature based on the sensor data of the at least one first environment detection sensor; providing the estimation of the ground plane and/or ground curvature; creating a lane model, wherein the estimation of the ground plane and/or ground curvature as well as the sensor data of the at least one second environment detection sensor are fused to produce the lane model.
