Abstract

For detecting at least one pulsed light source, light emitted by the pulsed light source being detected by a detector unit, a method includes detecting a first image parameter of the light of the light source using a first exposure time; detecting at least a second image parameter of the light of the light source using an at least second exposure time, the first exposure time and the at least second exposure time being different, and the detector unit being set to a predetermined value between the detection of the first image parameter and the detection of the at least second image parameter, the first image parameter and the at least second image parameter chronologically consecutively representing the same spatial location; and evaluating the at least second image parameter to detect a pulsed light source when at least the at least second image parameter meets a predetermined criterion.
