Abstract: A method for generating a monitoring image. The method includes: providing an image sequence of the surroundings to be monitored with the aid of an imaging system; determining at least one monitoring area and at least one periphery area of at least one image of the image sequence with the aid of a learning-based semantic segmentation method; compressing the monitoring area of the at least one image of the image sequence with a first compression quality; and compressing the periphery area of the at least one image of the image sequence with a second compression quality to generate the compressed monitoring image, the second compression quality being lower than the first compression quality.

Abstract: A method for warning a driver of a vehicle (1), in particular a truck, in turn maneuvers includes the following steps: generating (S1) an adaptive monitoring area (2) for the vehicle (1) based on at least a maximum lateral acceleration (4) of the vehicle (1) at a current longitudinal velocity (6) of the vehicle (1); identifying (S2) a vulnerable road user (VRU) (8) within the adaptive monitoring area (2); determining (S3, S4) a driver's intention to turn (40) the vehicle (1); determining S5) whether there is a collision risk between the vehicle (1) and the VRU (8); and outputting a warning signal (SW) based on the determined collision risk.
