A method for generating an environment model of a motor vehicle driver assistance system motor vehicle and

The invention relates to a method for operating a driver assistance system of a motor vehicle (1), comprising the steps of: - providing an image of a surrounding area of ​​the motor vehicle (1) by means of a camera of the driver assistance system, - detecting a plurality of objects (6) in the image by image processing means, - for each object (6) determining at least one characteristic of the respective object (6) based on the image by the image processing means, - generating an environment model (11) to the surrounding area of ​​the motor vehicle (1) from the properties of the objects (6) by using a predetermined optimization algorithm by the image processing means, - comparing the properties of the objects (6) to the environment model (11) by the image processing means, and - detection of faulty properties determined from the comparison.
