  • Method and device in a motor vehicle for improved data fusion in an environment detection
    Patent number: 11348342
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for improved data fusion during environment detection in a motor vehicle (50), comprising the following steps: detecting (101) an environment (40) of the motor vehicle (50) using at least one sensor (2); recognising (102) objects (81) in measurement data (20) detected by the at least one sensor (2); fusioning (115) of the recognised objects (81) and the object positions thereof in an environment map (80), wherein a probability of existence is/will be assigned to objects (81) recorded in the environment map (80), and wherein the probability of existence of a recorded object (81) is reduced, when a free region (86, 86.1) is measured during the detection of the position of the recorded object, wherein a respective orientation attribute (60) is assigned to the objects (81) recorded in the environment map (80) and recorded in the environment map (80), and for a region in the sensor region (83.1, 83.2, 83.3) of the at least one sensor (2), in which a free region (86, 86.
