The invention relates to a method for capturing an object () in an environmental region () of a motor vehicle () based on a sequence of images () of the environmental region (), which are provided by means of a camera () of the motor vehicle (), including the steps of: recognizing a first object feature () in a first image () of the sequence, wherein the first object feature () describes at least a part of the object () in the environmental region (), estimating a position of the object () in the environmental region () based on a predetermined movement model, which describes a movement of the object () in the environmental region (), determining a prediction feature () in a second image () following the first image () in the sequence based on the first object feature () and based on the estimated position, determining a second object feature () in the second image (), associating the second object feature () with the prediction feature () in the second image () if a predetermined association criterion is satisfied, and confirming the second object feature () as originating from the object () if the second object feature () is associated with the prediction feature ().
