1. A method for ascertaining an amount of substance emitted as a result of the operation of a functional unit of a vehicle, the method comprising:
transmitting signals from a signal source, which are generated independently of the amount of substance to be ascertained, as input data, to a data processing apparatus, wherein the data processing apparatus contains at least one neural network as a trained model for processing the input data, wherein the signals from the signal source represent an actual state of the functional unit; and
generating output data representing the emitted amount of substance in the data processing apparatus using the at least one neural network;
wherein the input data are transmitted to the trained model on the basis of a comparison between the signals from the signal source and a calibration value representing a calibration state of the functional unit;
wherein the input data are transmitted to the trained model if the value of the signals from the signal source is greater than the calibration value; and
wherein all of the signals from the signal source having a value greater than the calibration value are transmitted to the trained model.
