A method for displaying an environment of a vehicle having a coupled trailer. The method includes: recording a sequence of vehicle camera images using at least three vehicle cameras; recording a sequence of trailer camera images using the trailer camera; acquiring odometry data of the vehicle; ascertaining the trailer angle; storing items of image information about the close range of the vehicle; adjusting the position of the stored items of image information as a function of the detected odometry data; and displaying an environment model from a virtual observational perspective, preprocessed current vehicle and trailer camera images being projected onto a projection area of the environment model and being joined. For partial areas of the environment of the vehicle that are not represented, the stored items of information are projected onto the projection area according to their position and are joined to the vehicle and trailer camera images.

A method for producing an overall image of surroundings of a vehicle using images that are each actively recorded by one of a plurality of cameras mounted on the vehicle. The method includes determining a position of each predefined image section that occurs in an image of the plurality of images that at least partly forms an image of a vehicle body and/or of a vehicle wheel, using an image mask associated with the respective image to mask a portion of each of the plurality of images, in which a predefined image section occurs; determining each image mask on the basis of the position determined for each predefined image section located in the associated image in such a way that it masks each predefined image section that occurs in the associated image, and producing the overall image by assembling the plurality of images.
