The invention relates to a method for improved data fusion during environment detection in a motor vehicle (), comprising the following steps: detecting () an environment () of the motor vehicle () using at least one sensor (); recognising () objects () in measurement data () detected by the at least one sensor (); fusioning () of the recognised objects () and the object positions thereof in an environment map (), wherein a probability of existence is/will be assigned to objects () recorded in the environment map (), and wherein the probability of existence of a recorded object () is reduced, when a free region () is measured during the detection of the position of the recorded object, wherein a respective orientation attribute () is assigned to the objects () recorded in the environment map () and recorded in the environment map (), and for a region in the sensor region () of the at least one sensor (), in which a free region () is measured, the probability of existence of an object () recorded in the region of the environment map () corresponding to the region is reduced in accordance with the assigned orientation attribute (). The invention also relates to the associated device ().
