Abstract
A method is disclosed for representing an obscured area of a mobile platform environment relative to an object area of a first and second imaging devices of the mobile platform, including determining a delta-area, being the difference of a second obscured area of the environment which is obscured in respect to the object area at a second time step, and a first obscured area of the environment which is obscured in respect to the object area at a first time step. First and second overlap-images, being an overlap of an image of the first imaging device respectively of an image of the second imaging device with the delta-area, are determined, wherein both images are taken at the first time step. A difference of an optical property of the images is determined, and the difference of the optical property is harmonized within at least one of the overlap-images.
