Abstract
An optoelectronic sensor () for safe detection of objects () of a minimum size in a monitoring area (), the sensor () having an image sensor (-) for acquiring image data of the monitoring area () and an evaluation unit () configured to detect, in the image data, both finely detected objects () with a fine detection capability and coarsely detected objects () with a coarse detection capability, the coarse detection capability being coarser than the fine detection capability, and to ignore finely detected objects () which are not in a vicinity () of a coarsely detected object ().
