Abstract
The invention relates to an automotive construction machine, in particular a road milling machine, recycler or surface miner, and to a method for displaying an image of the surroundings of an automotive construction machine. The construction machine according to the invention has an image display device for displaying a bird's eye view image of the surroundings of the construction machine, which image display device has a camera system with a plurality of cameras provided on the machine frame for recording individual overlapping image regions of the construction machine surroundings from different image recording positions, and an image processing system. The image processing system is configured in such a way that image details of the individual image regions are joined together to form a total image from a bird's eye view. For this purpose, the construction machine has a position detection device, which detects the height and/or the incline of the machine frame in relation to the ground surface and cooperates with the position detection device in such a way that when the image details of the individual image regions are joined together to form a total image from a bird's eye view, the course of the stitching which is located between the image details and within the overlapping regions of the image regions is determined depending on the height and/or the incline of the machine frame in relation to the ground surface.
