A device and a method for displaying vehicle surroundings in a vehicle during an instantaneous second time point are provided. The method includes providing a first blind area image that contains an image synthesis of a blind area of the vehicle surroundings at a first time point preceding the second time point, arranging each first blind area pixel of the blind area in a new position estimated for the second time point, determining whether the new position of each first blind area pixel at the second time point still lies within the blind area, and producing a respective second blind area pixel for the second time point by synthesizing each first blind area pixel on the basis of motion data of the vehicle if the new position is determined to lie within the blind area.

Method and device for displaying vehicle surroundings

A system is configured to repair artefacts in image data when representing vehicle surroundings. This involves: detecting an artefact-comprising area of a vehicle camera for a first time point, creating a reconstructed version of the artefact-comprising area from image data of an adjacent image area, determining a sample point of the artefact-comprising area, transforming the sample point to a new location predicted for a second time point, determining whether the new location still lies within the artefact-comprising area, and if so updating the artefact-comprising area in the image for the second time point by using motion-compensated image data from the reconstructed version of the sample point from the first time point.
