Abstract: A method recognizes an object in a surroundings of a vehicle. The vehicle has an ultrasonic sensor for monitoring the surroundings of the vehicle and for the transmission and reception of ultrasonic signals. In the method, sensor data generated by the ultrasonic sensor are received. Classification data that contain features to be classified, are subsequently generated from the sensor data. The classification data and/or the sensor data are hereupon entered into a classifier that has been trained with training data for assigning the classification data and/or the sensor data to object classes. Object information that indicates at least one of the object classes is output.
