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

A method for determining a state of a tailgate () of a pickup vehicle () by a camera system (), includes capturing a cargo bed () of the pickup vehicle () in an image () captured by a camera (), determining a first region of interest (ROI) in the captured image () by an electronic computing device () of the camera system (), wherein the first region of interest (ROI) includes the potential tailgate () at least partially, determining a parameter optically characterizing the tailgate () depending on the captured image (), analyzing the first region of interest (ROI) with regard to the characterizing parameter, and determining a closed state of the tailgate () as state or determining an opened state of the tailgate () as state depending on the analysis of the first region of interest (ROI). A computer program product, an electronic computing device () as well as a camera system () are also disclosed.
