Abstract: A drain sieve for a washbasin catches foreign objects with a specified minimum size. The drain sieve has an annular support surface to be supported on the washbasin in the region of a drain of the washbasin and a closed curved surface which lies below the support surface in the assembled state. A distance between the curved surface and the support surface depends on the size of the foreign bodies to be caught, and the drain sieve is configured such that the curved surface of the drain sieve is curved upwards in the assembled state. Openings for the outflow of the water are arranged between the outer lower edge of the curved surface and the support surface of the drain sieve.

The method also includes capturing an image of the projection surface using an image capturing unit of the vehicle, calculating a frequency representation of the first and second characteristic light patterns in the captured image, and calculating, by evaluating frequency components in the frequency representation of the first and second characteristic light patterns, a coverage coefficient which is correlated with the degree of mutual covering of the first and second characteristic light patterns. The method further includes comparing the coverage coefficient with a coverage threshold value and displacing the first and second characteristic light patterns relative to one another if there is insufficient mutual covering.
