Described is a computer-implemented method for determining uncertainties in measurement data from a measurement of an object, wherein a digital representation of the object is generated by the measurement. The object representation has items of image information, which each indicate a value of a measurement variable for the object at a defined position of the object. Statistical noise is superimposed on the image information. The method includes determining the object representation, determining a distance field from the image information relating to the object representation, determining a strength of the statistical noise in the image information, determining an uncertainty of the distance values of the distance field on the basis of the strength of the statistical noise, and determining an uncertainty of the position of at least one point on at least one material boundary surface from the uncertainty of the distance values of the distance field.
