The invention relates to a method for identifying an object (8) in a surrounding region (4) of a motor vehicle (1) as a stationary object, wherein, in the method, the surrounding region (4) is captured in images (12, 14) using a vehicle-side capturing device (3) and the object (8) is detected in at least one of the captured images (12, 14) using an image-processing device (5), wherein: a first position (P1) of the object (8) in the surrounding region (4) is estimated relative to the motor vehicle (1) based on at least one first captured image (12); a movement path (15) of the object (8', 8') is determined in image coordinates (a, b) based on the first image (12) and at least one second captured image (14); a first movement path (16) characterising a stationary object is determined in the image coordinates (a, b) based on the first estimated position (P1) in the surrounding region (4); and the captured object (8) is identified as a stationary object based on a comparison of the movement path (15) of the captured object (8', 8") with the first characterising movement path (16). The invention also relates to a driver assistance system (2) and to a motor vehicle (1).
