Abstract
A method for displaying a vehicle environment of a vehicle, including a detection of the vehicle environment in camera images with the aid of a plurality of cameras; projecting the camera images onto a geometrical projection surface in a virtual space, setting up a depth map for a visual range of a virtual camera that describes a distance of a plurality of points of the geometrical projection surface from the virtual camera in the virtual space; calculating an image from the virtual camera that images the geometrical projection surface in the virtual space; ascertaining, based on the depth map, a particular region of the image from the virtual camera in which the geometrical projection surface lies in a certain distance range in relation to the virtual camera; and Gaussian blurring of the image from the virtual camera in the region in which the particular region is imaged.
