Abstract

A method computes a final image of an area surrounding a vehicle, from at least one image captured in a first angular portion of the area surrounding the vehicle by a camera and a distance between the vehicle and a point in the surrounding area, which distance is determined, in a second angular portion located in one of the first angular portions, by at least one measurement sensor. The method includes capturing an image and, for each captured image, correcting a distortion in the captured image to generate a corrected image; for each corrected image, transforming the perspective of the corrected image using a matrix storing a pre-calculated distance between the camera and a point in the corresponding surrounding area; and adding the transformed images to obtain the final image. The perspective transforming includes adjusting the pre-calculated distance to the distance determined by the measurement sensor.
