The present disclosure provides a method for providing a visualization of a vehicle, the method having the steps: receiving, for each vehicle camera of a plurality of vehicle cameras of the vehicle, current values of camera extrinsic parameters of said vehicle camera; receiving vehicle suspension data relating to a suspension of wheels of the vehicle; and visualizing the vehicle using a predefined model of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle is visualized on a ground surface; wherein the ground surface is modelled to contact the wheels of the vehicle, based on the current values of the camera extrinsic parameters of the vehicle cameras and based on the suspension data.

Method and device for providing a visualization of a vehicle, and vehicle

A method includes the steps: a) capturing image of an environment surrounding a vehicle by a camera; b) determining an area of increased brightness in the image based on pixels having a brightness exceeding a predefined threshold; c) estimating position coordinates of a light source in the environment from the area of increased brightness; d) detecting a shadow of the vehicle in the image; and e) determining a type of the light source as a spot light source or a direction light source from the shadow, environment.
