Abstract

A method for detecting an elevated object situated within a parking facility, using at least two video cameras that are spatially distributed within the parking facility and whose visual ranges overlap in an overlap area. The method encompasses the following: recording particular video images of the overlap area with the aid of the video cameras; analyzing the recorded video images in order to detect an elevated object in the recorded video images, and ascertaining, based on the recorded video images, whether in the detection of an elevated object the detected elevated object is real. A corresponding system, a parking facility, and a computer program are also provided.
