Zusammenfassung:A control system, system and method are provided for assisting a vehicle occupant. The method comprises determining a composite image sequence comprising a sequence of image frames 32, 34, each comprising a captured image of an environment external to the vehicle and a trajectory indicator 39a-e indicative of the determined vehicle trajectory through that environment. The trajectory indicator 39a-e is positioned within the composite image sequence in dependence on movement by the vehicle 50 between the time at which images associated with the corresponding image frames 32, 34 are captured such that the trajectory indicator 39a-e appears substantially stationary in a direction of travel (D) of the vehicle 50 with respect to one or more image objects 36, 38 within the composite image sequence. The trajectory indicator may be positioned or oriented in accordance with sensed topography. The invention avoids an unnatural sense of trajectory lines not moving with an environment.
