A method for detecting a relevant region in the surroundings of an ego vehicle, in which a situation exists which is relevant to the driving and/or safety of the ego vehicle, from measurement data of a sensor which observes at least a portion of the surroundings, the measurement data being discretized into pixels or voxels and/or are suitably represented in some other way, the existence of the relevant situation being dependent on the presence of at least one characteristic object in the surroundings, and the resolution of the pixels, voxels and/or the other representation being insufficient for directly detecting the characteristic object, the measurement data being analyzed for the presence of a grouping of objects which contains the characteristic object, the resolution of the pixels, voxels and/or the other representation being sufficient for detecting the grouping. A region in which the grouping is detected is classified as a relevant region.
