    Abstract: A method (700) for determining the value of a size of an object (150) is described. The method (710) comprises determining (711) an occupancy grid (200) indicating evidence that individual cells (201) are vacant or occupied by the object (150). Further, the method (710) comprises determining (712) a subset of cells (201) associated with the object (150). Further, the method (710) comprises detecting (713) two opposing bounding edges of the object (150), and determining (714) a measurement value of the size of the object (150) based on the distance between the detected edges of the object (150). The method (710) further comprises determining (715) a quality measure indicating how well the two opposing edges of the object (150) could be detected, and determining (716) a measurement probability distribution of the size of the object (150) dependent on the quality measure. Further, the method (710) comprises determining (717) a cumulative probability distribution based on the measurement probability distribution, and determining (718) a value of the size of the object (150) based on the cumulative probability distribution.

    Abstract: A support device of a front end module of a vehicle is provided for fastening the front end module to a vehicle structure. The support device has a frame component. The frame component is provided for attaching a bumper cover and/or a decorative grille and for attaching at least one sensor. The support device has at least one movement device by which the frame component can move relative to the vehicle structure. A vehicle includes the support device and a vehicle structure, wherein the support device is mounted on the vehicle structure via the at least one movement device so that, in the event of an impact at low speed, the support device moves in the direction of the vehicle structure and, after the impact, moves away from the vehicle structure again into its initial position.
