Patent ID: 8855370

Claim:
A method for determining a calibration parameter for a stereo camera, in which a relative movement of the stereo camera with respect to a further object is analysed, said method comprising the steps of: with the aid of object images of an object recorded at least two times one after the other at an interval by the stereo camera, the distance between the stereo camera and the object is each time determined, with the aid of the determined distances an apparent speed between the stereo camera and the object is determined, an actual speed between the stereo camera and the object is determined, and wherein, dependent on a deviation of the apparent speed from the actual speed, at least one calibration parameter for the determination of further distances between at least one of the stereo camera and the object and the stereo camera and further objects is determined with the aid of object images recorded by the stereo camera, and wherein the relationship between distance and speed is taken into account in the determination of at least one of the apparent and the actual speed.
