ABSTRACT:
The method for producing road or street section data for a digital map includes providing a vehicle (7) with an image producing device (1) for generating image data of surroundings of the vehicle and a position determining device (4) for generating vehicle position data; driving the vehicle over at least one road or street section (8) and at the same time simultaneously collecting the image data with the image producing device (1) and acquiring the vehicle position data with the position determining device (4); analyzing the image data with an image processing device (2), in order to assemble a road or street section description; and correlating the vehicle position data and the road or street section description with a correlation device, in order to produce the road or street section data for the digital map. The invention also includes an apparatus for producing the road or street section description according to the method of the invention.
