Abstract

See full text

A method for detecting and evaluating environmental influences and road condition information in the surroundings of a vehicle. At least two digital images are generated in a successive manner using a camera, and the same image section is selected on each image. Changes in the image sharpness between the image sections of the at least two successive images are detected using digital image processing algorithms, wherein the image sharpness changes are weighted in a decreasing manner from the center of the image sections towards the outside. Surroundings condition information is ascertained on the basis of the detected image sharpness changes between the image sections of the at least two successive images using machine learning methods, and road condition information is determined on the basis of the ascertained surroundings condition information.
