A method for analyzing reflection signals, comprising the following steps: receiving time-dependent reflection signals by a sensor, wherein each reflection signal corresponds to a respective reflection point candidate (RPC1, RPC2, RPC3); determining by a processing unit, for first to third reflection signals corresponding to respective first to third reflection point candidates (RPC1, RPC2, RPC3), time-dependent vectorial distances (d1, d2, d3, x1, x2), wherein a first distance extends between the first and second reflection point candidates (RPC1, RPC2), a second distance extends between the second and third reflection point candidates (RPC2, RPC3), a third distance extends between the first and third reflection point candidates (RPC1, RPC3), and respective sensor distances (x1, x3) extend between the first or third reflection point candidate (RPC1, RPC3) and the sensor; checking by the processing unit if the following conditions hold: a) the time dependencies of the absolute value of the first distance and the absolute value of the second distance are equal, and b) velocities and/or accelerations of the first and third reflection point candidates (RPC1, RPC3) are mirror symmetric relative to a time-dependent plane which is orthogonal to the third distance and extends through the second reflection point candidate; and if conditions a) and b) hold, classifying the reflection signal out of the first reflection signal and the third reflection signal corresponding to the reflection point candidate having a larger sensor distance as a false signal. receiving time-dependent reflection signals by a sensor, wherein each reflection signal corresponds to a respective reflection point candidate (RPC1, RPC2, RPC3); determining by a processing unit, for first to third reflection signals corresponding to respective first to third reflection point candidates (RPC1, RPC2, RPC3), time-dependent vectorial distances (d1, d2, d3, x1, x2), wherein a first distance extends between the first and second reflection point candidates (RPC1, RPC2), a second distance extends between the second and third reflection point candidates (RPC2, RPC3), a third distance extends between the first and third reflection point candidates (RPC1, RPC3), and respective sensor distances (x1, x3) extend between the first or third reflection point candidate (RPC1, RPC3) and the sensor; checking by the processing unit if the following conditions hold: a) the time dependencies of the absolute value of the first distance and the absolute value of the second distance are equal, and b) velocities and/or accelerations of the first and third reflection point candidates (RPC1, RPC3) are mirror symmetric relative to a time-dependent plane which is orthogonal to the third distance and extends through the second reflection point candidate; and a) the time dependencies of the absolute value of the first distance and the absolute value of the second distance are equal, and b) velocities and/or accelerations of the first and third reflection point candidates (RPC1, RPC3) are mirror symmetric relative to a time-dependent plane which is orthogonal to the third distance and extends through the second reflection point candidate; and if conditions a) and b) hold, classifying the reflection signal out of the first reflection signal and the third reflection signal corresponding to the reflection point candidate having a larger sensor distance as a false signal.
