Abstract

A method for determining a camera parameter for a camera (3) of a camera system (2) of a pickup vehicle (1) includes capturing a cargo bed (5) of the pickup vehicle (1) in an image (18) captured by using the camera (3), determining at least one first cargo bed edge line of the cargo bed (5) by optical analysis of the captured image (18) by using an electronic computing device (4) of the camera system (3), providing a function parameter for a cost function (15) by analysis of at least one first cargo bed edge line by using a regression-analysis algorithm of a solver module (14) of the electronic computing device (4), and determining the camera parameter on the basis of the cost function (15) depending on the provided function parameter by using the electronic computing device (4). A computer program product, an electronic computing device (4) as well as a camera system (2) are also disclosed.
