Abstract
A method for estimating a range of a moving object (MO) includes steps of capturing (S1) images of a surrounding by a camera (2), processing (S2) features of captured images to determine a bearing of a moving object (MO) based on a detected cluster of features belonging to the moving object (MO) within the captured images, and estimating (S3) a range of the moving object (MO) based on determined ground features belonging to a ground plane (GP) along the determined bearing of the moving object (MO) which are not occluded by the moving object (MO).
