Claim Text:
1. A method for recognizing an object reflection in at least one image generated by a camera of a motor vehicle, comprising: recognizing at least one first object candidate in the image; identifying at least one first reflection indicator as a function of the first object candidate; evaluating the first reflection indicator to determine whether the first object candidate is an object reflection; outputting an evaluation signal as a function of the evaluation, wherein the evaluation signal characterizes the first object candidate as at least one of an object reflection and an object; recognizing at least one second object candidate in the image; identifying at least one second reflection indicator as a function of the second object candidate; evaluating the at least one second reflection indicator to determine whether the second object candidate is an object reflection, wherein the evaluations of the first and second reflection indicators include comparing the first reflection indicator with the second reflection indicator; and outputting the evaluation signal as a function of the evaluations of the first and second reflection indicators, wherein the evaluation signal additionally characterizes the second object candidate as at least one of an object reflection and an object.
