Method and control unit for activating occupant protection means, as well as computer program and computer program product

A method for activating an occupant protection arrangement, the method comprising:

• forming a feature vector, having at least two features, from at least one signal of a crash sensor system;
• and
• activating the occupant protection arrangement by a kernel algorithm as a function of one of the feature vector and a first partial feature vector;
• wherein the one of the feature vector and the second partial feature vector is classified by a support vector machine, and wherein the kernel algorithm is influenced by the classification.

A control unit for activating an occupant protection arrangement, comprising:

• at least one interface to provide at least one signal of a crash sensor system;
• and
• an analyzer circuit which forms a feature vector having at least two features from the at least one signal;
• wherein the analyzer circuit has a kernel algorithm which activates the occupant protection arrangement as a function of one of the feature vector and of a first partial feature vector, and
• wherein the analyzer circuit has a support vector machine which classifies the one of the feature vector and of a second partial feature vector, and influences the kernel algorithm as a function of the classification.

A computer readable medium having a computer program, which is executable by a processor of a control unit, comprising:

• a computer code arrangement having computer program code for activating an occupant protection arrangement, by performing the following:
