Abstract

A method and a device are disclosed for the perspective representation, via an output image, of at least one virtual scene component arranged within a real scene. In the method, depth image data of the real scene is captured from a first perspective via a depth image sensor, and 2D image data of the real scene is captured from a second perspective via a 2D camera. Further, a virtual three-dimensional scene model of the real scene is created with reference to depth information from the depth image data, and at least one virtual scene component is inserted into the three-dimensional virtual model. Finally, an output image is generated by way of perspective projection of the 2D image data corresponding to the second perspective onto the virtual three-dimensional scene model comprising the virtual scene component.
