Abstract: A system is configured to repair artefacts in image data when representing vehicle surroundings. This involves: detecting an artefact-comprising area of a vehicle camera for a first time point, creating a reconstructed version of the artefact-comprising area from image data of an adjacent image area, determining a sample point of the artefact-comprising area, transforming the sample point to a new location predicted for a second time point, determining whether the new location still lies within the artefact-comprising area, and if so updating the artefact-comprising area in the image for the second time point by using motion-compensated image data from the reconstructed version of the sample point from the first time point.

Abstract: A system (100) is configured to perform a method of representing vehicle surroundings in a vehicle (1). The method involves: detecting (S1) at least one artefact-comprising area (142F, 142R, 142LL, 142LR) of a vehicle camera (140F, 140R, 140LL, 140LR) for a first time point (t-1), reconstructing (S2) the artefact-comprising area (142F, 142R, 142LL, 142LR) by image data of an adjacent image area, determining (S3) at least one sample point of the artefact-comprising area (142F, 142R, 142LL, 142LR), transforming (S4) the sample point to a new location predicted for a second time point (t), determining (S5) whether the new location still lies within the artefact-comprising area (142F, 142R, 142LL, 142LR), and updating (S5A) the artefact-comprising area (142F, 142R, 142LL, 142LR) by using a motion-compensated reconstructed sample point from the previous first time point (t-1). This improves the display of the surroundings by repairing artefacts.
