Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for the detection of an object moving in the monitored region of a camera, wherein measured values are compared with reference values and an object detection reaction is triggered when the measured value deviates in a predetermined manner from the reference value. In this respect, both the measured values and the reference values are derived from differences which exist between at least two different image regions.
