Abstract
A method for detecting and/or tracking an object in surroundings of a vehicle is described. The method ascertains, at a first time, on the basis of sensor data from one or more ambient sensors of the vehicle, measurement data for a multiplicity of cells of a grid of the surroundings of the vehicle, the measurement data for a first cell indicating an object probability. Moreover, the method ascertains an occupancy probability of the first cell being occupied by an object that was already detected at a preceding time. The method further assigns the first cell to the object in dependence on the object probability and in dependence on the occupancy probability.
