Abstract

A method for detecting an interfering object in a camera image of a camera image sequence includes: reading in a first pixel data value of a predetermined position in a first camera image obtained at a first point in time, a second pixel data value of the predetermined position in a second camera image obtained at a second point in time after the first point in time, and a third pixel data value of the predetermined position in a third camera image obtained at a third point in time after the second point in time; ascertaining a reference value on the basis of the second pixel data value and a comparison value on the basis of the first pixel data value and/or the third pixel data value; and detecting the interfering object at the predetermined position when the reference value is in a predefined relationship with the comparison value.
