Abstract
The invention relates to a method for generating a surroundings map () of a surrounding area () of a motor vehicle () in which an object in the surrounding area () is detected by means of a sensor device () of the motor vehicle (), a position value (P) that describes a position of the object is determined on the basis of sensor data of the sensor device () by means of a control device () of the motor vehicle () and the determined position value (P) is transferred into the surroundings map (), wherein a vector (v') between the object and a predetermined reference point () of the motor vehicle () that forms an origin (′) of a vehicle coordinate system () is determined, the determined vector (v′) is transformed from the vehicle coordinate system () into a global coordinate system () of the surroundings map () and the position value (P) in the surroundings map () is determined on the basis of the transformed vector (v).
