The invention relates to a method for monitoring a surrounding area (6) of a motor vehicle (1), wherein measurement points of surfaces of objects (7) in the surrounding area (6) detected by at least two sensor devices (4, 5) of the motor vehicle (1) are received, and wherein first measurement points of a first surface area (13) detected by a first sensor device (4) are received and second measurement points of a second surface area (14) with no overlap with the first surface area (13) detected by a second sensor device (5) are received, the first and second measurement points are used to determine a relative position of the surface areas (13, 14) with respect to each other, it is determined whether the surface areas (13, 14) are to be assigned to a single object (7) based on the relative position and, if so, the surface areas (13, 14) are combined into a total surface area (12) of the object (7). The invention also concerns a sensor control unit (9), a driver assistance system (2) and a motor vehicle (1).
