Abstract
A method and a device for acquiring and evaluating objects in the area surrounding a vehicle, in which, using at least one radar sensor, the target objects in a monitoring area are acquired, and in at least one evaluation unit the distance data and/or velocity data of the target objects are evaluated. The acquisition of the target objects takes place within a virtual barrier that can be modified in its distance from the vehicle and in its length, and, using a transmission signal of a pulse radar sensor, the receive signal reflected from the target object can be evaluated in one or more receive channels so that different locus resolutions and different dimensions with respect to the distance and the length of the virtual barrier can be achieved.
