The invention relates to a computer-implemented method 800 for identifying individual object outlines 155, 110a, 110b, 110c in a detection range 132 of a sensor 130, wherein the method 800 comprises a step of reading 810 an image 125 representing an object outline 140 detected by the sensor 130 in the detection range 132. Furthermore, the method 800 comprises a step of segmenting 820 the object outline 140 into a plurality of individual object outlines 155, 110a, 110b, 110c. Finally, the method 800 comprises a step of comparing 830 the individual object outlines 155, 110a, 110b, 110c with individual object information 165, which represents an outer shape of the individual object outlines 155, 110a, 110b, 110c and is retrieved from a memory 170, in order to identify the individual object outlines 155, 110a, 110b, 110c if the individual object outlines 155, 110a, 110b, 110c segmented from the object outline 140 meet a predefined criterion.
