Abstract: A device, a memory medium, a computer program, and a computer-implemented method for validating a data-based model for classifying an object into a class for an object type or a function type for a driver assistance system of a vehicle. The classification is determined as a function of a digital signal using the data-based model. A reference classification for the object is determined as a function of the digital signal, using a reference model. It is checked, as a function of the classification and the reference classification, whether or not the classification of the data-based model for the object is correct, and the data-based model is validated or not validated, depending on whether or not the classification is correct. The classification and the reference classification are determined for a set of digital signals that are associated with different distances between the object and a reference point.
