Abstract: A method for identifying an object in a piece of image information representing a scene in a detection range of a camera during a situation includes: a step of reading in; a step of selecting; and a step of searching. In the step of reading in, the piece of image information and at least one parameter representing the situation are read in. In the step of selecting, a feature combination of an object class of the object, which is predictably identifiable in the situation, is selected using the parameter. In the step of searching, the feature combination is searched for in the piece of image information to identify the object.

Abstract: In a method for calibrating a multi-camera system having at least two cameras spaced at a distance from one another, the cameras are aligned with one another with respect to their optical axes. The cameras are used for supplying three-dimensional image information, and the multi-camera system is situated on a vehicle. The position of the cameras relative to one another, in particular the alignment of their optical axes relative to one another, is retained unchanged before, during and after the calibration, and the cameras are calibrated by electronic processing of image information from at least one of the cameras.

Abstract: An image-recording system having at least one camera, having a receiving device and having a signal connection between the camera and the receiving device. The receiving device generates a PWM-coded signal which is transmitted to the camera. A clock signal is obtained in the camera from the PWM-coded signal.

Abstract: A method for supporting the driver of a motor vehicle in recognizing the surroundings of the motor vehicle, the surroundings of the motor vehicle being recorded visually by an image sensor unit, graphic supplemental information being produced by a control unit and/or recalled from a storage arrangement, both the recorded surroundings data and the graphic supplemental information being depicted visually on a display unit, and the graphic supplemental information and/or the collected surroundings data being displayed semi-transparently. A system that is suitable for carrying out the method and that includes an image sensor unit for visually recording the surroundings, a control unit for producing or recalling graphic supplemental information, as well as a display unit for visually displaying the collected surroundings data and the graphic supplemental information, and the graphic supplemental information and/or the collected surroundings data being portrayable semi-transparently on the display unit.

Abstract: An interface and a method for image data transmission that is used for data transmission through a plurality of data lines is described, the correctness of the transmitted data being checked by reference to control data. The checking capability is achieved in that at least one item of control data is transmitted through each data line.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an image-recording system having an optical module and a control unit, the optical module including a programmable logic module and the control unit including control means for the configuration of the logic module.
