1. A method for recognizing a covered state of a camera of a motor vehicle by:
- providing an image of an environmental region of a motor vehicle captured by a camera,determining respective brightness values (B) of pixels within at least one image region of the image,determining a number (N1, N2) of pixels within the at least one image region, which satisfy a preset criterion with respect to the brightness values (B), andchecking whether the camera is covered or not covered depending on the number (N1, N2).

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for recognizing a covered state of a camera (4) of a motor vehicle (1) by providing an image of an environmental region of the motor vehicle (1) by means of the camera (4), determining respective brightness values of pixels within at least one image region of the image, determining a number of pixels within the at least one image region, which satisfy a preset criterion with respect to the brightness values, and checking whether the camera (4) is covered or not covered depending on the number.

11. A camera system for a motor vehicle comprising:
-
at least one camera configured to provide an image of an environmental region of a motor vehicle, and a computing device configured to; determine respective brightness values (B) of pixels within at least one image region of the image, determine a number (N1, N2) of pixels within the at least one image region, which satisfy a preset criterion with respect to the brightness values (B), and check whether the camera is covered or not covered depending on the number (N1, N2).

12. A combination of a motor vehicle with a camera system comprising:
-
a motor vehicle, at least one camera configured to provide an image of an environmental region of the motor vehicle, and a computing device configured to; determine respective brightness values (B) of pixels within at least one image region of the image, determine a number (N1, N2) of pixels within the at least one image region, which satisfy a preset criterion with respect to the brightness values (B), and check whether the camera is covered or not covered depending on the number (N1, N2).
