Claim Text:
1. An apparatus for identifying and localizing objects, having a position determination device for determining object positions and having an RFID reading device for receiving an RFID signal from an RFID transponder and for reading RFID information from the RFID signal, the apparatus further having an RFID localization device for determining transponder positions with the aid of the RFID signal and having an association device which is configured to associate objects and RFID transponders with one another with reference to the object positions and the transponder positions, and wherein the RFID localization device is configured to determine distance information from the RFID signal of a transponder for the determination of a transponder position at a plurality of times, to derive probabilities of presence at a location from the distance information and to superpose them in a probability grid.
