1. A method for sensing surroundings of a vehicle using a number of sensors, comprising:
- during at least one echo cycle, sensing, by at least one sensor, at least one echo information item about the surroundings, and compressing the at least one echo information item using an algorithm that includes a continuous nonlinear transformation, wherein the at least one echo information item includes information regarding at least one of;
i) a relative motion between a transmitter and a receiver and ii) a surface configuration of an object present between the transmitter and receiver; and
transferring the at least one compressed echo information item to at least one processing unit.

5. An assemblage for sensing surroundings of a vehicle, comprising:
-
at least one processing unit; and a number of sensors, at least one of the sensors being embodied so that during at least one echo cycle, the at least one of the sensors senses at least one echo information item about the surroundings, compresses the at least one echo information item using an algorithm that includes a continuous nonlinear transformation, and transfers the at least one compressed echo information item to the at least one processing unit, wherein the at least one echo information item includes information regarding at least one of;
i) a relative motion between a transmitter and a receiver and ii) a surface configuration of the object present between the transmitter and receiver. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
