  • Patent number: 11961215
    Abstract: A method for processing images is described, wherein a scenery is recorded as at least one raw image by at least one optical capture means mounted on a vehicle, and wherein image data of the scenery are mapped incompletely and/or erroneously in the subsequently rendered render image in at least one area. In order to provide a user of one or more cameras on a motor vehicle, that have visibility restrictions with a more agreeable visual experience, the method includes identifying the area(s) of incomplete and/or erroneous mapping in the render image on the basis of existing visibility restrictions, generating masks that enclose the area(s) of incomplete and/or erroneous mapping as masked areas, reconstructing image data in unmasked areas of the render image by means of digital inpainting and synthesizing together with the masked areas to produce a correction image, and displaying the completed and/or debugged correction image.
