Abstract:
1. An apparatus for rendering surroundings, comprising: at least one image source; an image signal processing device; and at least one image reproduction device, wherein input image signals supplied by the image source are fed to the image signal processing device, wherein the image signal processing device is configured to process the input image signals fed to it to create output image signals for a panoramic image, wherein the output image signals from the image signal processing device are forwarded to the image reproduction device for displaying the panoramic image, wherein the image signal processing device is configured to process the input image signals such that at least a first region of the panoramic image is reproduced undistorted or compressed in a first compression and at least a second region of the panoramic image is reproduced compressed in a second compression, wherein the image signal processing device is configured such that wherein a sight angle corresponding to a region reproduced undistorted or compressed is selectable in a horizontal plane between 0° and 360° and in a vertical plane between −90° and +90°.
