  • Method of producing a total image of the environment surrounding a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 8908035
    Abstract: A method of producing a total image of the surrounding environment of a motor vehicle uses an image sensor device connected with the motor vehicle, which supplies image data in a first acquisition range of the vehicle environment. At least a first image part of the total image is based on image data of the image sensor device from the first acquisition range. In addition to the image sensor device, a distance sensor device connected with the motor vehicle is used which supplies distance data in a second acquisition range of the vehicle environment, the second acquisition range covering an additional range of the vehicle environment which is not covered by the first acquisition range. At least a second image part of the total image, which is at least partially situated outside the first image part, is based on the distance data of the distance sensor device from the additional range.
