Abstract
A method and device for object detection in the case of a vehicle equipped with an object-detection system, the object-detection system emitting electromagnetic radiation and receiving radiation reflected off objects within the detection range, and the radiation reflected off a detected object, which was additionally reflected off an object extending along the roadway, is analyzed. The analysis consists of a plausibilization in which the directly measured object reflections are verified using the indirect object reflections, or in that the analysis consists of utilizing the indirect object reflections for the further object detection if reflections from a previously detected object are no longer measurable.
