Abstract

The present invention presents a sensing system 1 and a corresponding method for detecting moving objects 11 in the surroundings of a vehicle 10. The sensing system 1 comprises an imaging unit 2 for obtaining an image stream 2a, a computing unit 3 for analyzing the image stream 2a, and a control unit 4 for controlling the vehicle 10 based on the analysis result of the computing unit 3. The sensing system 1 particularly employs a background-model-free estimation. The sensing system 1 is configured to perform a local analysis of two neighboring motion vectors 6, which are computed from points 7a in images 5a, 5b of the image stream 2a, and to determine, whether the points 7a corresponding to these motion vectors 6 belong to a particularly moving object.
