Abstract:
1. A method for controlling vehicle dynamics in a motor vehicle, comprising: generating, by at least two image sensor systems, image information from surroundings of a motor-vehicle to control the vehicle dynamics, each image sensor system including at least two image sensors to record a same scene for the image information, a first one of the at least two image sensor systems being oriented along a longitudinal axis of the vehicle and a second one of the at least two image sensor systems being oriented along a transverse axis of the vehicle; for each image sensor: determining at least one fixed image point from the generated image information, each image point corresponding to a stationary object; determining image coordinates of at least one fixed image point in at least two images of one image sequence; determining a sampling vector drawn from a zero coordinate point of the image sensor to the at least one fixed image point; and determining x, y and z component values of the sampling vector; determining at least one measured value as a function of a variation in the sampling vector component values from one image in a respective image sequence to a subsequent image in the respective image sequence, of each of the image sensors, the measured value being used for vehicle dynamics control; and controlling, by at least one actuator, vehicle dynamics as a function of the at least one measured value and the image information.
