Abstract

A method for producing an overall image of surroundings of a vehicle using images that are each actively recorded by one of a plurality of cameras mounted on the vehicle. The method includes determining a position of each predefined image section that occurs in an image of the plurality of images that at least partly forms an image of a vehicle body and/or of a vehicle wheel, using an image mask associated with the respective image to mask a portion of each of the plurality of images, in which a predefined image section occurs; determining each image mask on the basis of the position determined for each predefined image section located in the associated image in such a way that it masks each predefined image section that occurs in the associated image, and producing the overall image by assembling the plurality of images.
