Abstract
According to a method for object recognition by an active optical sensor system (), a detector unit () detects light () reflected off an object () and generates a sensor signal () on the basis thereof. A computing unit () ascertains a first pulse width (D) defined by a predetermined first limit value (G) for an amplitude of the sensor signal () as well as a second pulse width (D) defined by a predetermined second limit value (G). The signal pulse is assigned to one of at least two categories according to at least one predefined signal pulse parameter, and a scatter plot for object recognition is generated, said scatter plot containing exactly one entry for the signal pulse, said entry corresponding to the first pulse width (D) or to the second pulse width (D) according to the category to which the signal pulse belongs.
