Abstract

An object-recognition method for a vehicle's driver assistance system involves obtaining a 2D image and a 3D image, forming a 3D apparent object from the 3D image, detecting one or more detected objects in a portion of the 2D image corresponding to the apparent object from the 3D image, classifying the one or more detected objects into at least one pre-defined object class, and dividing the apparent object into at least two 3D objects when the apparent object does not correspond with at least one class-specific property of the determined at least one object class.
