Abstract: A device provides improved obstacle identification. A first camera acquires first vehicle image data and provides it to a processing unit. A second camera acquires and provides second vehicle image data. An image overlap region has at least a portion of the first vehicle image data and at least a portion of the second vehicle image data. The first and second vehicle image data extend over a ground plane and the image overlap region extends over an overlap region of the ground plane. The processing unit extracts first image features from the first vehicle image data and extracts second image features from the second vehicle image data. The processing unit projects the first and the second image features onto the ground plane.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for providing improved obstacle identification. Acquisition (210) of first vehicle image data with a first camera (20) is included. The first camera delivers (220) the first vehicle image data to a processing unit (40). Furthermore, acquisition (230) of second vehicle image data with a second camera (30) is included. An image overlap region exists, which has at least a portion of the first vehicle image data and at least a portion of the second vehicle image data. The first vehicle image data and the second vehicle image data extend over a ground plane and the image overlap region extends over an overlap region of the ground plane. The second camera delivers (240) the second vehicle image data to the processing unit. The processing unit extracts (250) first image features from the first vehicle image data and the processing unit extracts (260) second image features from the second vehicle image data.
