Claim 20:
21. A method for determining a position of at least one object (112) by using at least one detector (110) according to claim 1, wherein the position is at least one item of information regarding a location and/or orientation of the object (112) and/or at least one part of the object (112) in space, the method comprising the following steps:
determining at least one reflection image (126) of the object (112) by using at least one sensor element (116) having a matrix (118) of optical sensors (120), the optical sensors (120) each having a light-sensitive area (122);
selecting at least one reflection feature of the at least one reflection image (126) by using at least one evaluation device (128);
determining at least one distance estimate (130) of the selected at least one reflection feature of the at least one reflection image (126) by optimizing at least one blurring function fa, wherein the at least one distance estimate (130) is given by a longitudinal coordinate z and an error interval ±ε;
determining at least one displacement region (132) in at least one reference image (134) corresponding to the at least one distance estimate (130), wherein the at least one displacement region (132) is a region in the at least one reference image (134) in which the at least one reference feature corresponding to the selected at least one reflection feature is expected to be located in the at least one reference image (134); and
matching the selected reflection feature with at least one reference feature within the at least one displacement region (132).
