METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ASCERTAINING A HIGHLY ACCURATE ESTIMATED VALUE OF A YAW RATE FOR CONTROLLING A VEHICLE

A method for ascertaining a highly accurate piece of yaw rate information for controlling a vehicle is provided. The method includes ascertaining a first yaw rate estimated value of the vehicle based on a fusion of sensor data of an inertial sensor, a GNSS sensor, a wheel velocity sensor and/or a steering angle sensor; ascertaining a second yaw rate estimated value of the vehicle by an evaluation of sensor data of a camera assigned to the vehicle, which optically detects the surroundings of the vehicle; carrying out a correction of the first yaw rate estimated value with the aid of the second yaw rate estimated value to ascertain a corrected yaw rate estimated value; and outputting the corrected yaw rate estimated value as a piece of yaw rate information to generate a control signal for controlling the vehicle.
