Abstract

A method where one or more objects of a three-dimensional scene are determined in accordance with provided raw data of the three-dimensional scene representing a predefined environment inside and/or outside the vehicle. A two-dimensional image is determined in accordance with the provided raw data of the three-dimensional scene such that the two-dimensional image depicts the determined objects of the three-dimensional scene on a curved plane. The two-dimensional image has a quantity of pixels, each representing at least one part or several of the determined objects of the three-dimensional scene. Data is provided which represents at least one determined field of view of the driver. For at least one of the determined objects, the probability with which the at least one object will be located in the field of view of the driver is determined in accordance with the provided data and the two-dimensional image.
