Abstract
The invention relates to monitoring the area in front of a vehicle by means of an apparatus that comprises at least two imaging devices (110, 120). Provided are a first imaging device (110), which covers a first imaging angle, and a second imaging device (120), which covers a second, greater imaging angle. The first imaging device (110) covers a first zone (111) of the area in front of the vehicle, while at the same time, the second imaging device (120) covers a second zone (121) of the area in front of the vehicle. The two imaging devices (110, 120) are positioned spaced, in particular spaced laterally, from one another such that a central area (140) is covered by both the first and the second imaging devices (110, 120). By fusing the data acquired by the imaging devices (110, 120), a stereo image of the central area is generated, while monoscopic images are generated of those zones that are each covered by only a first or a second imaging device.
