Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining an occupancy status of a parking bay, wherein a vehicle is moved along a street segment with at least one parking bay and the vehicle has a distance sensor as well as a sensor for satellite-based location and time determination. Furthermore, static parking information on the position of the parking bays in a street segment and parking information on the parking bays are on hand. By means of distance and location data projected distance data are produced which each indicate a distance datum of the distance sensor to the next object in the sensor direction at a point of the street of the street segment at the parking bay. By means of these projected distance data a standard distance is ascertained. Subsequently, for each point of a parking bay the determination is made if this is unoccupied by comparing the distance datum with the standard distance plus a delta.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a spatially highly precise, localized panoramic street image of a street from a continuous film with location information recorded by means of a vehicle, wherein the film contains image data at an angle of 90° to the course of the street, which is referred to as zero position, and has a capture angle of at least 20° in the horizontal. Here, for each frame of the film recording positions are ascertained and afterwards, in an analysis step, the physical distance between the recording positions of a first and a subsequent frame is calculated. Following this, image strips are extracted from the first and the subsequent frame, which correlate with the distance. Furthermore, the invention relates to a system for executing the relevant method according to the invention.
