Abstract: In a method for training a neural network for detecting an object, geometric dimensions of a test object from an object class are captured, and during a time period, recordings of the test object are generated by a plurality of cameras. From the captured geometric dimensions and the generated recordings, occupancy maps are generated. By a radar device, a radar signal is transmitted, and a radar signal reflected by the test object is received. The transmitted radar signal and the received radar signal are mixed into a complex baseband to form a mixed signal. A complex four-dimensional mixed spectrum of the mixed signal is calculated. From the complex four-dimensional mixed spectrum, a first complex two-dimensional partial spectrum and a second complex two-dimensional partial spectrum are calculated. The occupancy maps and the partial spectra are fusioned to form training data. The training data are fed to the neural network.
