Abstract
A method for operating a camera-monitor system for a motor vehicle, in which the camera-monitor system has two cameras which are assigned to a common side of the motor vehicle and are both designed to provide an image of the surroundings of the motor vehicle, wherein the imaged surroundings of the images partially overlap. The system ascertains transformation parameters for transforming a second image of the second camera such that an image element in a peripheral region of a transformed second image connects to a corresponding image element in a peripheral region of a first image of the first camera. Further, ascertaining transformation parameters for transforming the second image in dependence on the ascertained transformation parameters and in dependence on a specification provided for the transformed second image. The system transforms the second image with the further transformation parameters into the transformed second image.
