Abstract
A method and a device for monitoring a field of view of a stationary sensor. The method includes: a first step for receiving recordings of surroundings of the sensor, which are generated at different times within a predefined measuring time frame with the aid of the sensor; a second step for ascertaining, based on the recordings, measuring points, which each represent positions and/or dimensions of objects in the surroundings of the sensor; a third step for grouping the ascertained measuring points based on a predefined similarity metric, where each group of measuring points is represented by a prototype; and a fourth step for ascertaining a change of content within the field of view of the sensor based on a comparison of the prototypes with a reference data set, which includes reference prototypes, whose underlying measuring points are ascertained in a reference state of the sensor and of the surroundings.
