An electronic device for determining a semantic grid of an environment of a vehicle is provided. The electronic device is configured to: receive first image data of an optical sensor, the first image data comprising a 2D image of the environment, perform a semantic segmentation of the 2D image and project the resulting semantic image into at least one predetermined semantic plane, receive an occupancy grid representing an allocentric bird eye's view of the environment. The control device further includes a neural network configured to determine a semantic grid by fusing the occupancy grid with the at least one predetermined semantic plane.
