Abstract
A vehicle moves in relation to the surroundings along a movement direction. The vehicle includes a first and a second camera. The first camera is arranged in front of the second camera along the movement direction. A method for scanning the surroundings from the vehicle includes scanning a first image by the first camera; scanning a second image by the second camera; and combining the first and the second image to form an overall image. The second image is scanned with a time delay in relation to the first image, so that an offset of locations at which the images are scanned is less than an offset of the cameras on board the vehicle.
