Abstract: The invention relates to a method for evaluating distance measuring data of a distance measuring system of a motor vehicle. A camera image (100) of the surroundings of a vehicle which is to be observed is received and distance measuring data from the same surroundings which are to be observed is received by means of the distance measuring system. The camera image (100) is displayed on the display device and distance information (1a?, 1b,2) is integrated into the camera image (100) according to the distance measuring data. According to the invention, a driving path (4a, 4b) of the motor vehicle is determined and, optionally, integrated into the camera image (100).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for graphically processing an image of the surroundings of a motor vehicle, the image being been provided by a camera device. It is known fact that said images are processed in such a way that the danger potential for the motor vehicle posed by an obstacle in the surroundings is visualized optically by or highlighted for the driver. According to the invention, the image provided by the camera device is processed taking into account the position of the obstacle in the image in order to highlight said danger potential in an even clearer manner for the driver. To this end, the actual position of the obstacle in the surroundings of the motor vehicle is initially determined. The position of the obstacle in the image corresponding to the actual position of the obstacle in the surroundings is subsequently determined.
