Abstract
A device for detecting rollover includes a stereo camera in the direction of travel. The camera allows the distance to an object outside the vehicle to be measured, and, in each instance, image vectors to this object are calculated. If the vertical component of these image vectors now changes over time, then a rollover event is detected as a function of this change.
