Abstract

A method for determining depth information relating to image information by an artificial neural network in a vehicle, comprising providing at least one emitter and first and second receiving sensors being spaced apart from one another; emitting electromagnetic radiation by the emitter; receiving reflected proportions of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the emitter by the receiving sensors and generating first image information by the first receiving sensor and second image information by the second receiving sensor on the basis of the received reflected proportions; comparing the first and second image information for determining an image area unequally illuminated in the first and second image information which occurs by parallax due to the spaced-apart arrangement of the receiving sensors; evaluating geometric information of the unequally illuminated image area and estimating depth information by the artificial neural network on the basis of the evaluation of the geometric information.
