Abstract
The invention relates to a method for detecting a parking area, in particular for a motor vehicle, having an image capturing device which generates image data of a surrounding area, which image data are evaluated in order to detect a parking area, wherein at least one marker or a plurality of markers of a parking area is or are detected by means of the image data and is or are evaluated and assigned to a parking area which is defined by the at least one marker, wherein, when a parking area is detected, an adjacent area expectation is determined which constitutes a hypothesis that the area adjacent to the detected parking area could also be a parking area, and that the hypothesis is taken into account during the detection of an adjacent parking area.
