System for monitoring the environment of a motor vehicle
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring an environment of a motor vehicle, the system comprising:
- one or more imaging devices for captured a sequence of images, which sequence contains images of at least a part of the environment of the motor vehicle;
a display unit for reproducing at least one image detail of the image sequence in an interior of the vehicle, said display unit including one or more devices for automatically changing an environmental detail shown by the reproduction of the image detail;
one or more devices for determining a plurality of earlier positions of the motor vehicle while the motor vehicle is traveling in a forward direction; and
wherein the environmental detail is automatically adaptable as a function of the each of the plurality of earlier positions of the motor vehicle, and wherein the automatic adaptation of the environmental detail further comprises changing an area of the environment to which the environmental detail corresponds;
wherein at least as a function of each of the plurality of earlier positions, a preferred display detail is definable in the environment of the motor vehicle; and
wherein the environmental detail is adaptable such that essentially the preferred display detail is continuously displayed.
