Abstract

A method for assembling single images recorded by a camera system from different positions, to form a common image, including providing a first projection surface having a first geometric shape and a second projection surface having a second geometric shape; every point of the first projection surface having an associated point on the second projection surface; acquiring positional information that describes a configuration of objects shown in the single images relative to the camera system; reshaping the first geometric shape of the first projection surface on the basis of the acquired positional information; assigning texture information pertaining to the single images to surface regions of the reshaped first projection surface; transferring texture information from the points of the first projection surface to the respective, associated points of the second projection surface; and producing the common image from a view of the second projection surface.
