摘要

Method for visualizing the surroundings of a vehicle with - providing the digital data of a visual image of the surroundings, the visual image showing the visually visible objects, - providing the digital data of an infrared image of the surroundings, the infrared image showing the shows infrared radiation emanating from the visually visible and / or further objects, the digital data of the visual image is provided by a visual camera sensitive in the visual spectral range, and the digital data of the infrared image is provided by an infrared camera sensitive in the infrared spectral range be, wherein - the visual camera has a first optical axis and the infrared camera has a second optical axis, and the cameras at least partially different sections of the surroundings of the vehicle, i. H. provide a first and a second section, characterized in that - the provided first section and the provided second section are merged wholly or partially by a fusion device (106) in pixels and / or regions, and at least one ...
