Abstract

A system for scanning an object from the direction of a motor vehicle includes a first radar device for scanning a first item of information of the object that includes a distance, a first object angle, and a first relative velocity; a periodic continuous-wave radar device for scanning a second item of information of the object, which includes a second relative velocity and a second object angle; and a processing device for allocating the first and the second items of information with regard to the same object; and for classifying the object on the basis of a characteristic of the second relative velocity.
