Abstract
A method for the automatic configuration of a 3D sensor for safe object tracking in which at least one 3D image is recorded by the 3D sensor, a detection region in which safety related objects can move is fixed within a detection zone of the 3D sensor using the at least one 3D image, and the object tracking is restricted to the detection region. In this respect, picture elements corresponding to a reference area, in particular a floor level, are identified in the at least one 3D image and the detection region is fixed with respect to these picture elements.
