Abstract

A method for checking a calibration of N environmental sensors, wherein the N environmental sensors acquire an environment and each provide sensor data, N subfusions are formed from the acquired sensor data, each of the N subfusions leaves sensor data of one singular one of the N environmental sensors unconsidered upon the fusing, fusion results of the N subfusions are compared to one another, an incorrect calibration of the N environmental sensors is established based on a comparison result, and a check result is provided. Also disclosed are an associated device and a transportation vehicle.
