Operation of a Rail Vehicle Comprising an Image Generation System

The invention relates to a rail vehicle including an image generation system for capturing a space outside the rail vehicle. The image generation system includes four image generation devices each of which, during operation of the image generation system, generates two-dimensional images of the space. A first a second of the four image generation devices are disposed at a first distance from one another on the rail vehicle and form a first stereo pair, which captures a first shared portion of the space from different viewing angles. A third and a fourth of the four image generation devices are disposed at a second distance from one another on the rail vehicle and form a second stereo pair, which detects a second shared portion of the space from different viewing angles. The first shared portion the space and the second shared portion of the space have a shared spatial region.
