Abstract:
1. A method for the detection of objects in a detection region, wherein at least one transmitted light bundle ( transmitted light reflected back or remitted back from an object ( the distance of the object ( characterized in that, the light patch ( 30 ) in two dimensions is incident on more than one reception element ( 28 ), and in addition to the position of the reflected or remitted light, the two-dimensional energy distribution of the at least one received light patch ( 30 ) within the light incident on the receiver unit ( 26 ) is evaluated in order to determine further information on the object ( 12 ) in addition to the distance of the object ( 12 ) determined by triangulation, wherein a light patch quality value is determined which includes information on the homogeneity of the light reflected or remitted at the object ( 12 ).
