    摘要: There is disclosed a method and a device for avoiding accidents caused by wild animals crossing at dusk and at night by a vehicle-mounted camera system. The method for the brightness conversion of input image data of the camera into output image data includes the following steps: a) capturing input image data of a current brightness of a roadway and an adjacent region to the side of the roadway by f a vehicle-mounted camera system at dusk or at night, b) converting the input image data into output image data with a different brightness by a trained artificial neural network, and c) outputting the output image data so that the output image data can be displayed to the driver of the vehicle for the purpose of avoiding accidents involving wild animals or so that a wild animal can be recognized from the output image data by an image recognition function.

    摘要: The invention relates to correcting input image data, from a plurality of cameras of a vehicle panoramic-view system. includes: capturing input image data by the cameras, which are negatively influenced by rain, incident light and/or dirt, and providing to a trained artificial neural network, converting, by the trained network, the input image data into corrected output image data without negative influence, determining a certainty measure which is dependent on the degree of wetting by water, incident light and/or contamination for an image of the input image data, and characterizing the certainty of the trained network that the image correction of the network is accurate, and outputting, by the trained network, the output image data and the determined certainty measure. The method advantageously allows object recognition when cameras are fogged up and generation of an image data stream for human and computer vision from a network for an optimized correspondence search.
