Abstract

The invention relates to a method for providing image data (24) from a camera system (3) for a motor vehicle (1), wherein the camera system (3) includes at least one camera, in particular a plenoptic camera (4), including a lens (6) and a sensor array (7), in which electromagnetic radiation (15, 17, 19, 21) is captured by means of the sensor array (7) and image data (24) of an environmental region (11) of the motor vehicle (1) is provided based on the captured electromagnetic radiation (15, 17, 19, 21) and the image data (24) is evaluated by means of an evaluation device (5), wherein a direction of incidence of the electromagnetic radiation (15, 17, 19, 21) on the sensor array (7) is determined by the evaluation device (5) based on the image data (24) provided by the sensor array (7) and the image data (24) is adapted by means of the evaluation device (5) depending on the determined direction of incidence.
