The invention relates to a detection device (10) with at least one sensor device (11), an analysis device (32), a light source (30), and a flat carrier medium (12). The carrier medium (12) is designed as a waveguide on which a coupling region (16) and a decoupling region (18) are provided. The coupling region (16) is designed to couple light (100), which has been emitted from the light source (30) and reflected on an object (40) in the surroundings, into the carrier medium (12). The coupled reflected light (100') is then transmitted to the decoupling region (18) by means of internal reflection, and the reflected light (100') is decoupled again at the decoupling region and is transmitted to the at least one sensor device (11), which is designed as a time-of-flight camera device. The sensor device (11) provides the detected light (100') in the form of sensor data which describes the propagation time of the light (100') reflected on the object (40). The analysis device (32) is designed to provide object data, wh
