METHOD AND ENVIRONMENT-CAPTURE SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMAGE OF AN ENTIRE MULTI-PART VEHICLE

A method for producing an environmental image of an entire multi-part vehicle having a tractor vehicle and at least one trailer vehicle includes providing an image capture device including a front camera for capturing a front capture region in front of the tractor vehicle and outputting a front individual image, front lateral cameras for capturing front lateral capture regions and outputting front lateral individual images, back lateral cameras for capturing back lateral capture regions and outputting back lateral individual images, and a rear camera for capturing a back capture region behind the trailer vehicle and outputting a back individual image. The method includes recording the individual images with the cameras, evaluating and/or cropping the individual images such that overlap regions are in each case formed at least between the front lateral individual images and the back lateral individual images, and combining the individual images to form the environmental image.
