  • Publication number: 20240135569
    Abstract: A method for parameterizing a scene having a surface, on which at least two objects are disposed, using a camera disposed at a distance from the objects. The method includes: a) using the camera, producing an image of the scene, the image containing image data regarding the objects; b) recognizing at least two objects in the image by evaluation of the image data and assigning each recognized object to a specific object class; c) estimating an object size of each of the at least two recognized objects in accordance with at least one surface parameter characterizing the surface; d) for each of the at least two objects: calculating an individual probability that the object has the object size estimated in measure c); e) calculating a scene probability from the at least two calculated individual probabilities.
