Abstract: The invention relates to a monitoring device 1 for monitoring a man-overboard situation in a ship section 5, wherein the ship section 5 is monitored by video technology using at least one camera 2, and the camera 2 is designed to provide surveillance in the form of video data. The monitoring device comprises an analysis device 9, said analysis device 9 having an interface 10 for transferring the video data, and the analysis device 9 is designed to detect a moving object in the ship section 5 on the basis of the video data and determine a kinematic variable of the moving object. The analysis device 9 is also designed to determine a scale on the basis of the video data and the kinematic variable in order to determine the extent 8 of the moving object and evaluate the moving object as a man-overboard event on the basis of the extent 8 thereof.

Abstract: A method and system for determining free spaces in the vicinity of a motor vehicle, in particular a vicinity relevant to the vehicle operation, is provided. A method and system for determining an evasion trajectory for a driver assistance system of the motor vehicle is provided in which information from at least one object detection sensor of the motor vehicle about at least one detected object is used while taking the characteristics of the physical measuring principle of the at least one object detection sensor into account. A method and system is provided in which it is taken into account that the at least one object detection sensor has the capability of directly detecting a plurality of objects by a single measurement.
