A method for generating a vehicle environment view involves: capturing camera images with vehicle cameras on a vehicle body of a vehicle; and calculating of the vehicle environment view based on the camera images. In the vehicle environment view, a texture of a non-visible region of a ground surface located under the vehicle body and not visible to the vehicle cameras is calculated based on texture data of a visible region of the ground surface that is visible to vehicles cameras and surrounds the non-visible region.

Method and device for generating a vehicle environment view for a vehicle

A method of generating a vehicle environment view for a vehicle, having has the following steps. Camera images are provided by vehicle cameras on the body of the vehicle. A vehicle environment view is calculated based on the camera images. A texture of a ground surface that is located below the vehicle body and is not visible to the cameras, is determined within the vehicle environment view by performing a local color prediction and a movement-compensated texture prediction.

Method and device for generating a view around a vehicle for a vehicle

A vehicle's panoramic view system includes a non-centered real camera that captures an image of surroundings, a virtual camera, an image processing unit, and a display unit that displays a geometric form overlaid over the captured image. The image processing unit projects the captured image onto a first plane perpendicular to the real camera to correct perspective distortions resulting from the camera's non-centered position, and projects the geometric form onto a second plane perpendicular to the virtual camera to represent the geometric form without distortion on the display unit. The image processing unit finds an affine transformation between the first and second planes by delta transformation between the real and virtual cameras, and applies the affine transformation to the first plane containing the projected distortion-corrected captured image, to align a modified representation of the image with the undistorted geometric form in the second plane.

Panoramic view system for a vehicle

The invention relates to a method for generating a virtual image of vehicle surroundings, in which real images of the vehicle surroundings are recorded by means of one or more cameras positioned on the vehicle and in order to generate the virtual image individual pixels from the real images captured by means of the cameras are projected onto projection points (P) in a three-dimensional surroundings model of the vehicle surroundings.
