EVALUATING LOCATING MEASUREMENTS OF A SURROUNDINGS SENSOR FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE

A method for evaluating locating measurements of a surroundings sensor for a motor vehicle. The method includes: associating locating measurements with an object described by an estimated object state, for the locating measurements in each case an association probability being determined for the association of the locating measurement with the object; estimating instantaneous state parameters of the object, including an adaptation of the state parameters to the locating measurements associated with the object, weightings of the locating measurements associated with the object being taken into consideration during the adaptation, for the locating measurements in each case the weighting being dependent on the determined association probability for the association of the particular locating measurement with the object; and transferring the estimated instantaneous state parameters of the object to a state estimator for updating the estimated state of the object. A sensor system is also described.
