Abstract

The invention relates to a method for assessing an affiliation of a sensing point (12, 13, 19, 20) to an object in a surrounding area (7, 8) of a motor vehicle (1), in which the sensing point (12, 13, 19, 20) is sensed using a first sensor device (4) of the motor vehicle (1), and a fuzziness zone (14, 15) characterizing a positional fuzziness of the sensing point (12, 13, 19, 20) is formed around the sensing point (12, 13, 19, 20), wherein the assessment of the affiliation of the sensing point (12, 13, 19, 20) to the object takes into consideration at least one position of a further sensing point (12, 13, 19, 20) of the object, wherein an overall fuzziness zone (16) is formed on the basis of the fuzziness zone (14, 15) of the sensing point (12, 13, 19, 20), and the affiliation of the sensing point (12, 13, 19, 20) to the object is acknowledged if the sensing point (12, 13, 19, 20) and the further sensing point (12, 13, 19, 20) are situated in an area formed by the overall fuzziness zone (16). The invention also relates to a driver assistance system (2) and a motor vehicle (1).
