Camera-monitor system for a vehicle

A camera-monitor system for a commercial vehicle to depict fields of view in the surroundings of the commercial vehicle, wherein the fields of view with respect to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle lie in front of the vehicle comprise at least a first field of view that, with respect to its lateral extent lies in front of the vehicle, a second field of view that laterally adjoins the first field of view and, with respect to its lateral extent lies lateral to the vehicle, and a third field of view that laterally adjoins the first field of view and, with respect to its lateral extent lies laterally to the vehicle on the opposing side of the second field of view,

• wherein the camera-monitor system comprises:
• a display unit in the driver cabin;
• a capturing unit comprising a single camera to capture image data comprising the first, the second, and the third field of view in front of the vehicle,
• a processing unit that processes the captured image data to depict them on the display unit and transmits them to the display unit to display them, wherein the first, second and third field of view have an extent in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle that exceeds 2 m, and
• wherein the second and the third field of view each have an extent in lateral direction relative to the vehicle that exceeds 2 m,
• wherein the processing unit processes the captured image data using a mapping function to depict them on the display unit, wherein the mapping function comprises a scaling component σ.
