Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 9:
10. A method, the method comprising:
transmitting measuring pulses;
receiving reflections of the measuring pulses with at least one reception unit;
determining a time-of-flight measurement from the received reflections;
generating a backscatter curve, wherein the backscatter curve describes signals generated responsive to the received reflections of at least one measuring pulse;
determining a correlation between a sensitivity curve and the backscatter curve, where the sensitivity curve describes a sensitivity of at least one of the at least one reception element as a function of distance to an object; and
determining whether at least one section in the backscatter curve indicates a particle cloud arranged in a measuring range that was measured by the time-of-flight measurement or indicates an object in the measuring range that was measured by the time-of-flight measurement based on the determined correlation.
