Abstract
A method and a device for detecting objects that has at least two near distance sensors installed on a vehicle. The at least two near distance sensors have detection ranges that overlap at least partially. The relative positions of possible detected objects with respect to the at least two near distance sensors are determined in the overlap area by the triangulation principle. Possible apparent objects obtained by determining the relative position of possible detected objects are identified using dynamic object monitoring.
