  • Patent number: 11521027
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for fusion of measurements from various information sources (I 1, I 2, . . . , I m) in conjunction with filtering of a filter vector, wherein the information sources (I 1, I 2, . . . , I m) comprise one or more environment detection sensor(s) of an ego vehicle, wherein in each case at least one measured quantity derived from the measurements is contained in the filter vector, wherein the measurements from at least one individual information source (I 1; I 2; . . . , I m) are mapped nonlinearly to the respective measured quantity, wherein at least one of these mapping operations depends on at least one indeterminate parameter, wherein the value to be determined of the at least one indeterminate parameter is estimated from the measurements of the different information sources (I 1, I 2, . . . , I m) and wherein the filter vector is not needed for estimating the at least one indeterminate parameter.

  • Patent number: 10223802
    Abstract: In a method for determining a depth map from stereo images, the disparity for a pixel is selected from a predefined quantity or set of predefined discrete disparity values that are distributed over the entire predefined disparity value range, whereby the distribution is non-uniform or has at least two different distances or intervals between different adjacent disparity values. This method makes it possible to more precisely determine (with finer resolution) especially only those disparities for which a more precise determination is required.

  • Publication number: 20170270680
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining a depth map from stereo images. The disparity for a pixel is determined from a discrete quantity of predefined disparity values, said disparity values are distributed over the entire predefined disparity value range and said distribution has at least two different distances between adjacent disparity values. One advantage of the method according to the invention is that it allows only those disparities for which a more precise determination is required to be more precisely calculated.

  • Patent number: 9704253
    Abstract: In a method for determining a depth map from stereo images, the disparity for a pixel is determined from a discrete quantity of predefined disparity values that are distributed over the entire predefined disparity value range. The distribution has at least two different distances between different pairs of adjacent disparity values. In this method, it is possible that only those disparities for which a more precise determination is required, will be more precisely calculated.
