Abstract

A method of detecting lanes includes the steps: capturing (S1) a camera image (K) of a vehicle environment by a camera device (2) of a vehicle (5); determining (S2) feature points (P1 to P15) in the camera image (K), which feature points correspond to regions of possible lane boundaries (M1, M2); generating (S3) image portions of the captured camera image (K) respectively around the feature points (P1 to P15); analyzing (S4) the image portions using a neural network to classify the feature points (P1 to P15); and determining (S5) lanes in the vehicle environment taking account of the classified feature points (P1 to P15).
