Abstract
A method for detecting a parallax problem in sensor data from two sensors spaced apart from each other and at least partly capturing the same environment, wherein at least one of the sensors provides distance information. The method includes obtaining the acquired sensor data from the sensors; assigning measured values in the acquired sensor data of one sensor to corresponding measured values in the acquired sensor data of the other sensor, wherein the assignment takes the respective imaging conditions of the two sensors into account; consecutively numbering the measured values in the sensor data; checking whether a sorting order of the numbering of the measured values that correspond to each other matches, a parallax problem being determined in response to a sorting order not matching; and outputting a test result. Also disclosed is an apparatus for detecting a parallax problem in sensor data from two sensors and a transportation vehicle.
