20. A method for presenting video images from a vehicle environment outside of a detecting vehicle, the method comprising:
-
taking video images of the vehicle environment; recognizing a vehicle in front of the detecting vehicle in the video images; determining the velocity of the recognized vehicle; processing the determined velocity; and visualizing the processed velocity in the displayed video images by changing the representation of the recognized vehicle in the displayed video images, where, when it is detected that the velocity of the recognized vehicle is lower than a predetermined threshold velocity, braking lights of the recognized vehicle as shown in the video images are displayed in an activated state.

21. A method for presenting video images from a vehicle environment outside of a detecting vehicle, the method comprising:
-
taking video images of the vehicle environment; recognizing a vehicle in front of the detecting vehicle in the video images; determining the velocity of the recognized vehicle; processing the determined velocity; and visualizing the processed velocity in the displayed video images by changing the representation of the recognized vehicle in the displayed video images, where the representation of the recognized vehicle is changed in the video images by adding flashing warning lights to the recognized vehicle as shown in the video images, when it is detected that the velocity is lower than a predetermined threshold velocity.

24. A method for presenting video images from a vehicle environment outside of a detecting vehicle to a driver of the detecting vehicle, the method comprising:
-
taking a video image of the vehicle environment; recognizing a plurality of objects in the video image; presenting the video image including the recognized objects on a display of the detecting vehicle; detecting sensor data of the vehicle environment or the detecting vehicle itself by operating a sensor of detecting vehicle; based on the detected sensor data, determining whether one or more of the detected sensor data is to be selected for communication to the driver via the presented video image; if it is determined that one or more of detected sensor data is to be selected for communication to the driver, changing the representation of one or more of the recognized objects in the presented video image to visualize the selected sensor data. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
