Abstract

The invention relates to a method for generating at least one merged perspective viewing image (), which shows a motor vehicle () and its environmental region () from a dynamically variable perspective (P, P, P) of a dynamic virtual camera () and which is determined based on raw images () of at least two cameras () and based on a perspective model () of the motor vehicle (), comprising the steps of: a) determining whether the merged perspective viewing image () comprises at least one disturbing signal afflicted image area, and if so, identifying the at least one disturbing signal afflicted image area; b) (S) determining a severity of disturbing signals () within the at least one disturbing signal afflicted image area; c) (S) determining a significance of the disturbing signals () in dependence on the perspective (P, P, P) of the virtual camera (); d) (S) determining a degree of coverage of the disturbing signal afflicted image area by the model () of the motor vehicle () in dependence on the perspective (P, P, P) of the virtual camera (); e) () reducing the disturbing signals () only, if the severity exceeds a predetermined severity-threshold and the significance exceeds a predetermined significance-threshold and the degree of coverage remains below a predetermined degree of coverage-threshold. The invention moreover relates to a camera system () as well as a motor vehicle ().
