Method for detecting at least one object present on a motor vehicle, control device, and motor vehicle

A method for detecting at least one object resting against a motor vehicle, comprising:

• capturing at least one camera image using a camera, wherein a detection region of the camera is directed to an outer region of the motor vehicle and partially or entirely to an outer surface of the motor vehicle;
• and
• determining, for a clearance test, in the at least one camera image by an image analysis apparatus of a control device if at least one predetermined intrinsic structure of the motor vehicle is imaged;
• in the event that the at least one intrinsic structure cannot be found by the image analysis apparatus, generating a blocking signal for at least an autopilot of the motor vehicle, which blocking signal indicates that an object is resting against the motor vehicle;
• and
• receiving, by the autopilot of the motor vehicle, a start signal for at least partially automatic driving, wherein the autopilot only starts to drive if there is no blocking signal.
