1. A method for supporting an advanced driver assistance system in a motor vehicle, comprising the steps of:
determining a position of the motor vehicle;
providing a map of the determined position, wherein categorized objects are stored in associated positions in the map;
capturing environment data of the determined position using at least one environment sensor system of the advanced driver assistance system;
analyzing the captured environment data using an analysis apparatus of the advanced driver assistance system, wherein the captured environment data are analyzed for object recognition according to the categorized objects stored in the map, wherein a probability of existence of an object in the captured environment data is evaluated based on at least one categorized object stored in the map.
