Abstract
A method for operating a surroundings detection system of a vehicle having at least two transceiver units, at least one transceiver unit emitting signals, and the at least two transceiver units receiving echo signals of the emitted signals, the echo signals being reflected by reflection sources situated in a detection range of the transceiver units. It is provided that received wave pulses and corresponding amplitude information are ascertained from the received echo signals, and upon receipt of the received wave pulses originating from at least two different reflection sources, an assignment of different received wave pulses of a first transceiver unit to different received wave pulses of a second transceiver unit is performed, taking into account the amplitude information, so that a spatial position of the at least two different reflection sources is ascertainable. Also described is a surroundings detection system and a computer program configured for performing the method.
