A method, for detecting an artefact in a stitched image, comprises: acquiring component images of an environment from respective vehicle mounted cameras with overlapping fields of view; forming () a stitched image from the component images; processing () at least a portion of the stitched image corresponding to the overlapping field of view with a classifier to provide a list of detected objects from the environment at respective locations in the stitched image; determining () whether any detected object in the list of detected objects is a duplicate of another object in the list of detected objects; and reporting any objects that are determined to be duplicates.

System and method for making reliable stitched images

The invention relates to a method for assisting a driver of a motor vehicle () in maneuvering the motor vehicle () with a trailer (), wherein image data is captured from an environmental region () of the motor vehicle () by means of at least one vehicle-side camera () and by means of at least one trailer-side camera () and an image (B) of the environmental region () is created for displaying on a vehicle-side display device () depending on the captured image data, wherein a perspective (PP), from which the environmental region () is displayed in the image (B), is determined depending on a pivot angle () between the trailer () and the motor vehicle (). The invention additionally relates to a driver assistance system () as well as to a vehicle/trailer combination with a motor vehicle (), a trailer () and a driver assistance system ().
