  • Patent number: 11816787
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for representing an environmental region of a motor vehicle in an image, in which real images of the environmental region are captured by a plurality of real cameras of the motor vehicle and the image is generated from these real images, which at least partially represents the environmental region, wherein the image is represented from a perspective of a virtual camera arranged in the environmental region, and the image is generated as a bowl shape, wherein at least one virtual elongated distance marker is represented in the image, by which a distance to the motor vehicle is symbolized in the virtual bowl shape. The invention also relates to a computer program product and a display system for a motor vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11491914
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing an image representation (15) of an environment (7) of a vehicle (1), wherein the environment (7) of the vehicle (1) is captured at least partly, an image representation (15) of at least one first part (10a) of the captured environment (7) is provided within a defined viewport (10) from a defined perspective (11), wherein the image representation (15) includes a vehicle representation (14) representing the vehicle (1), and wherein the image representation (15) is displayed on a display device (12). Further, when providing the image representation (15) at least one second part (16a) of the captured environment (7) is represented in form of a mirrored image (18) of the at least one second part (16a) of the environment (7) on a defined region (17, 19, 20) of the vehicle representation (14).

  • Patent number: 11302062
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for generating at least one merged perspective viewing image (24), which shows a motor vehicle (1) and its environmental region (4) from a dynamically variable perspective (P1, P2, P3) of a dynamic virtual camera (12) and which is determined based on raw images (25) of at least two cameras (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d) and based on a perspective model (17) of the motor vehicle (1), comprising the steps of: a) determining whether the merged perspective viewing image (24) comprises at least one disturbing signal afflicted image area, and if so, identifying the at least one disturbing signal afflicted image area; b) (S63) determining a severity of disturbing signals (27) within the at least one disturbing signal afflicted image area; c) (S61) determining a significance of the disturbing signals (27) in dependence on the perspective (P1, P2, P3) of the virtual camera (12); d) (S62) determining a degree of coverage of the disturbing signal afflicted image area by the model (17) of the motor ve
