ABSTRACT:
A device is provided for monitoring surroundings of a vehicle with at least one camera, an image processing unit, and an image display unit. The image processing unit is operatively configured for reducing noise components in the images, recorded by the camera. The reducing of the noise components is accomplished by image grading, during which an averaging of a number of images occurs. The number of images, processed for the image grading, is variable.
