1. A method for detecting lost image information by means of a lighting device and an optical sensor, comprising:
controlling the lighting device and the optical sensor so as to be chronologically aligned with each other for image capture;
determining a visible spacing region in an observation region of the optical sensor from the chronological alignment of the control of the lighting device and the optical sensor, wherein the visible spacing region is the entire portion of the observation region that is illuminated for the image capture via the chronological alignment;
capturing an image of the observation region with the optical sensor via the aligned control;
identifying, from the captured image, image information in regions outside of the visible spacing region; and
making the identified image information accessible to a detection device of a motor vehicle.
