Abstract

Camera data and radar echoes are received from the surroundings. At least one radar echo is assigned to a delimiting frame of an object detected on the basis of a camera, the delimiting frame being generated using the camera data by comparing corresponding azimuth angles and specified distances of the radar echo and the object detected on the basis of a camera. In the event of a successful assignment, a distance which is assumed on the basis of a camera is corrected according to the distance of the respective detected object in the surroundings, said distance being determined in a radar-based manner. The respective delimiting frame together with the corrected distance is then output as an object data set which indicates a successful object detection.
