Method for Calibrating an Assistance System of a Civil Motor Vehicle

A method for calibrating an assistance system of a civilian motor vehicle. The method comprises capturing image data for surroundings of a civilian motor vehicle by means of a camera device in an image sensor coordinate system; capturing depth data indicating first distances between the civilian motor vehicle and objects in the surroundings by means of a depth sensor device; deriving second distances between the civilian motor vehicle and objects represented in the image data by means of image analysis based on artificial intelligence in a data processing device, and creating three-dimensional image data from the image data and the second distances in a three-dimensional image sensor coordinate system; calibrating the image data and the depth data with respect to each other in the data processing device, comprising determining a transformation rule; and applying the transformation rule to subsequently acquired image data. Further, a civilian motor vehicle is provided.
