Patent ID: 7010150

Claim:
A method for detecting and representing one or more objects using a camera, said method comprising the steps of: creating a first recording; producing a still image; inserting the still image into a current, moving search image in at least one sub-area, so that both images are recognizable; positioning the camera in such a way that the search image attains congruence with the inserted still image in said at least one sub-area; and initiating a second recording, wherein the recordings yield a three-dimensional data record containing depth values, the first and second recordings are correlated with one another computationally using the depth values of a common area, the still image is displaced and rotated by at least one of a predetermined distance and a predetermined angle, and is superposed on the moving search image only in said at least one sub-area, and the first and second recordings are displaced and rotated by at least 1/10 of the extent of the recording in one direction relative to one another.
