Abstract: A method for capturing a surrounding region of a motor vehicle, in which, while the motor vehicle is moved relative to an object in the surrounding region, sensor data are received in each case at predetermined times from a distance sensor by a control device and the object is classified as a static or as a moving object by the control device on the basis of the received sensor data, wherein a distance value is determined by the control device for each of the predetermined times on the basis of the sensor data, said distance value describing a distance between the distance sensor and at least one predetermined point of reflection of the object, and a curve of the distance values as a function of time (t) is compared to a predetermined reference curve for the purposes of classifying the object.

Abstract: A method for calibrating a sensor of a motor vehicle includes, while the motor vehicle is moved relative to an object, continuously receiving a reception signal by a computing device from two reception devices of the sensor, the reception signal describing a sensor signal that is emitted by the sensor and reflected at the object. A measurement angle between the sensor and the object is determined based on a phase difference between the reception signals. A relative orientation between the sensor and the object is determined continuously based on the reception signals, and a reference time at which the relative orientation corresponds to a predetermined reference orientation for which a reference angle between the sensor and the object is known is determined by the computing device. The measurement angle is determined for the reference time, and the sensor is calibrated based on a comparison between the measurement angle for the reference time and the reference angle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for calibrating a sensor (3) of a motor vehicle (1), in which, while the motor vehicle (1) is moved relative to an object (8), a reception signal is received continuously in each case by means of a computing device (7) from two reception devices (9, 9?) of the sensor (3), said reception signal describing a sensor signal that is emitted by the sensor (3) and reflected at the object (8), a measurement angle (?) between the sensor (3) and the object (8) is determined on the basis of a phase difference (??) between the reception signals and a relative orientation between the sensor (3) and the object (8) is determined continuously on the basis of the reception signals, wherein a reference time (t0), at which the relative orientation corresponds to a predetermined reference orientation for which a reference angle (?) between the sensor (3) and the object (8) is known, is determined by means of the computing device (7), the measurement angle (?) is determined for the reference time
