Abstract:
A method for creating a digital map in at least one mobile device including capturing an image sequence of an environment; detecting and classifying objects in the captured image sequence; determining object positions of the objects relative to the mobile device; establishing a section in the environment wherein the section has a predetermined size and predetermined boundaries; assigning the detected and classified objects to the determined object positions in the established section; determining a traffic lane provided in the section; transmitting object information and the object positions of the detected and classified objects, section information relating to the established section, traffic lane information and time information to the map creation device. In the map creation device, the data is received, compared, and sections are joined and merged to form a digital map. Also disclosed is an associated system.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for creating a digital map, the method comprising, in at least one mobile device:\n capturing an image sequence of an environment of the at least one mobile device by at least one camera, identifying and classifying objects in the captured image sequence by an evaluation unit, determining object positions of the objects relative to the mobile device by the evaluation unit, defining a section in the environment, the section having a predetermined size and predetermined boundaries, assigning the identified and classified objects to the determined object positions in the defined section, determining a lane present in the section by the evaluation unit, transmitting object information and the object positions of the identified and classified objects, section information relating to the defined section, lane information and an item of time information to a map creation device by a transmitting device, repeating the preceding operations to define further sections of the environment; and in the map creation device:\n receiving the object information and the object positions, the section information, the lane information and the time information for each of the sections from the at least one mobile device, \n comparing the individual sections with one another based on the object information and object positions, the section information, the lane information and the time information, \n joining the sections of the at least one mobile device at their respectively adjacent boundaries, and \n merging the joined sections of the at least one mobile device to form a digital map.
