Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018104454A2] The invention relates to the automatic recognition of obstacles in track-bound traffic (BVE), when track-bound vehicles (BFZ) travel on lines (BST) in a track-bound vehicle network (BNE), or obstacles in rail traffic (SVE), when rail vehicles (SFZ) travel on rail tracks (SST) in a rail network (SNE). For this purpose, a plurality of images (BIFSB) of a route region (FSB) ahead of a track-bound vehicle (BFZ, SFZ) is used, an image region (BIB) is marked in each image and shows a track (FS, GL) used by the track-bound vehicle (BFZ, SFZ), and the track visually localized by the marking is identified by image analysis and is compared with stored known image meta information (BMI) or with stored known image meta information (BMI) and additional information (ZI). The system is capable of recognizing, by way of an object recognition method, in an image region sub-region (BIBAS) of the marked image region whether an object (OBJ), such as a person, an animal, a fallen tree etc., is present on the track (FS, GL), an obstacle being marked in the image region (BIB), preferably in the image sub-region (BIBAS), when the object (OBJ) is recognized by the object recognition method.
