The invention relates to a method for evaluating a plurality of chronologically staggered images, said method comprising the following steps: detecting a plurality of objects in a first image and storing each of the plurality of objects as tracks with a first capture time and/or a first capture location, preferably in a track list, detecting a plurality of objects in further images and identifying each of the detected objects as an object assigned to the respective stored track, wherein the respective track is updated by the current position of the identified object and, in the respective further images, objects detected for the first time are stored with assigned tracks, and wherein a covered path length, a distance and/or a time difference from the first capture time is determined as a capture period for each of the objects or tracks, wherein the path length, the distance and/or the capture period are compared with a respective predefined threshold value, and wherein the objects or tracks are classified according to the result of the comparison as objects or tracks to be taken into consideration or as objects or tracks not to be taken into consideration, wherein a number of stored tracks is determined for at least one of the images.
