A method for determining an object height from radar data

The invention relates to a method for determining an object height of which is arranged by means of a on a vehicle (2) radar apparatus (1) determined radar data, determines a temporal change of a distance of the object (O1, O2) to the radar device (1) and an intensity modulation of a from the radar device (1) the received echo signal (S) is performed. According to the invention additionally as a function of elevation angle (α) of an optical axis (OA) of the radar device (1) reflections of the object (O1, O2) below and / or above the radar device (1) befindlicher faces (F), in particular floor and / or ceiling reflections determined, located based on the determined distance and the intensity modulation, the object height above a below the radar device (1) surface (F) and / or being a clearance height to above the radar device (1) surface to be determined or is.
