Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016020343A1] The invention relates to a method for detecting at least one object (9, 10) in a surrounding region (7) of a motor vehicle (1), in which the motor vehicle (1) is moved in relation to at least one object (9, 10) and a measurement cycle is performed at each of a plurality of consecutive times during the movement of the motor vehicle (1) in relation to the at least one object (9, 10). In each measurement cycle an ultrasonic signal is sent out by means of an ultrasonic sensor (4) of the motor vehicle (1) and a characteristic (14) is determined. Said characteristic describes a position value, which describes a position of the at least one object (9, 10) and is determined on the basis of a first received echo of the ultrasonic signal, and said characteristic describes a presence of a second echo of the ultrasonic signal that is received within a predetermined duration after the first echo. The characteristics (14) are associated with a cluster (13) on the basis of the position value of the characteristics, and the characteristics (14) of the cluster (13) are signaled as belonging to the at least one object (9, 10) in dependence on the presence of the second echo.
