Abstract

A method for synthetically generating a point cloud of radar or LIDAR reflections, a reflection indicating at least one location at which radar or LIDAR interrogating radiation has been reflected. In the method, distribution functions which according to a random distribution provide samples in each case for at least one of the variables contained in the radar or LIDAR reflections are provided; synthetic reflections are generated by drawing samples in each case from the distribution functions for variables contained in the radar or LIDAR reflections, one of multiple distribution functions being selected according to at least one selection random distribution in order to draw each sample; the synthetic reflections are combined to form the sought point cloud.
