Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing a two-dimensional whole image of a recording region captured by means of a plurality of individual images, each having its own viewing direction and its own distance, wherein a spatial orientation of a main image plane of each individual image relative to a main image plane of the respective further individual image is determined on the basis of an overlap of the respectively captured subregions, and at least a plurality of the individual images are combined in accordance with the spatial orientations to form the whole image. The whole image area is the surface of a torus.
