Abstract

The invention relates to the verification of a detection of other road users of a vehicle, wherein the detection is carried out based on light sources in camera images. The verification is carried out by means of a distance calculation. In particular, a stereo camera can be used, wherein a pairing of light sources in the first image and a color check of the light sources in the first image can be carried out using a first image of the stereo camera. Likewise, a distance estimate of the object, which is assigned to the light sources, can take place. Independently of this, a three-dimensional position calculation of the object which contains the light sources can be performed with a second camera image of the stereo camera. Disparities can be used for this. These two distance values, the estimated distance value and the distance value of the three-dimensional position calculation can be compared, in order to establish whether the object may actually be a preceding vehicle. It is part of the invention to provide a corresponding device which carries out the method according to the invention.
