Abstract
A method for determining a state of the surrounding area of a vehicle includes: receiving sensor data of at least one surrounding-area sensor of the vehicle; feeding at least a first portion of the sensor data into at least one first classifier; generating an intermediate probability from the first portion of the sensor data, using the first classifier; feeding at least a second portion of the sensor data and the at least one intermediate probability into a second classifier; generating a final probability of the state of the surrounding area from the second portion of the sensor data and the at least one intermediate probability, using the second classifier.
