Abstract: A motor vehicle has an assistance system which contains an optical sensor which defines an acquisition area. The acquisition area is directed diagonally to a rear with respect to a longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle. The optical sensor has a 3D camera. The area of the acquisition area is displayed on a display in the interior of the vehicle.

Abstract: An optically, aerodynamically and economically optimized and particularly wind-insensitive cleaning apparatus for cleaning a surface of a sensor apparatus of a vehicle with a fluid cleaning agent. The surface is delimited by an encircling outer edge which is arranged so as to be substantially flush with a surrounding outer surface region, and the cleaning apparatus includes a flow body for guiding a fluid stream flowing from the spray nozzle to the surface and flowing away from the surface, wherein the flow body at least sectionally adjoins the outer edge of the surface, in particular completely surrounds the outer edge, and, at the outer edge, an outer surface of the flow body is oriented so as to be substantially tangential to the adjoining surface.

Abstract: A method of recognizing edges in a camera image (A) produced by a camera, includes steps of: assigning (S1) a respective scaling size to each pixel (aij) of the camera image (A) as a function of an object distance, relative to the camera, of a spatial region imaged in the respective pixel (aij); producing (S2) an integral image (B) from the camera image (A); applying (S3) Haar wavelet transforms to the pixels (bij) of the integral image (B) to generate a gradient image (C), wherein a scaling of the Haar wavelets is determined for each pixel (bij) of the integral image (B) taking account of the scaling size assigned to the corresponding pixel (aij) of the camera image (A); and recognizing (S4) edges in the camera image (A) using the generated gradient image (C).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for recognizing edges in a camera image (A) produced by means of a camera, having the steps of: assigning (Si) a respective scaling size to each pixel (aij) of the camera image (A) as a function of object distances of a spatial region imaged in the pixel (aij) with respect to the camera; producing (S2) an integral image (B) from the camera image (A); applying (S3) Haar wavelet transforms to the pixels (bij) of the produced integral image (B) in order to generate a gradient image (C), wherein a scaling of the Haar wavelets is determined for each pixel (bij) of the integral image (B) which is to be transformed, taking account of the scaling size assigned to the corresponding pixel (aij) of the camera image (A); and recognizing (S4) edges in the camera image (A) using the generated gradient image (C).

Abstract: A driver assistance system for controlling a high beam, including an environment detecting device. At least one radar or lidar sensor system as well as a camera sensor system are provided for detecting the environment in front of the vehicle. A control signal for a high beam controller or warning device is generated when the high beam is active and at least one sensor system for detecting the environment simultaneously detects a potentially dazzled object.
