Abstract
The invention relates to a method for recognizing a band-limiting malfunction of a camera () of a motor vehicle (), in which during the operation of the motor vehicle () an image () of a measurement object (), which is external to the motor vehicle, is captured by means of the camera () arranged on the motor vehicle (), and in the image () a point spread function () is determined on the basis of a brightness distribution () along a profile through a pixel with a brightness, which exceeds a brightness threshold value, of the measurement object () shown in the image (), and on the basis of the determined point spread function () a property value of a property of the camera () is determined, and the band-limiting malfunction of the camera () is recognized, in case the property value of the camera () is smaller than a property threshold value.
