Displaying image data in a vehicle with changing projection surface

A computer-implemented method for displaying image data in a vehicle, the computer-implemented method comprising:

• providing a predefined initial projection surface and a predefined final projection surface;
• receiving a video stream depicting an environment of the vehicle from a camera system of the vehicle and the video stream is buffered in a buffer storage, wherein the buffer storage is updated at a predefined frame rate;
• reading out image data at a predefined readout rate from the buffer storage at an initial readout instance, a plurality of consecutive intermediate readout instances and a final readout instance;
• determining a set of initial sampling points on the initial projection surface and a set of final sampling points on the final projection surface, wherein each final sampling point is assigned to exactly one of the initial sampling points;
• determining, for each of the intermediate readout instances, a set of intermediate sampling points, wherein each intermediate sampling point interpolates between one of the final sampling points and the respective assigned initial sampling point, and an intermediate projection surface containing the set of intermediate sampling points is determined;
• and
• projecting for each of the intermediate readout instances, the read out image data to the respective intermediate projection surface and an intermediate image depending on the projected image data is displayed on a display device of the vehicle.
