Abstract

The invention relates to a device, to a vehicle, and to a method for measuring a dimension between at least two points on surfaces. The device comprises an image-generating apparatus configured to scan the surroundings of the vehicle, and a display apparatus configured to display a representation of the surroundings of the vehicle. The device also includes an input apparatus configured to define at least two points as measuring points between which a dimension is to be determined in the displayed representation, a surroundings sensor configured to sense a distance and a direction of each of the measuring points with respect to the vehicle, and an evaluation apparatus configured to determine the dimension based on the sensed distances and directions of the measuring points, wherein the evaluation apparatus is further configured to output the determined dimension.
