1. A sensor for detecting an object, comprising:
a detection unit for detecting a sensor signal and a control and evaluation unit that is configured to determine an object property by evaluating the sensor signal; and
a correction value unit,
wherein the control and evaluation unit is further configured to determine a correction value for interference of the sensor environment from the sensor signal by further evaluation using a method of machine learning and to take the correction value into account in the determination of the object property.
