A device provides improved obstacle identification. A first camera acquires first vehicle image data and provides it to a processing unit. A second camera acquires and provides second vehicle image data. An image overlap region has at least a portion of the first vehicle image data and at least a portion of the second vehicle image data. The first and second vehicle image data extend over a ground plane and the image overlap region extends over an overlap region of the ground plane. The processing unit extracts first image features from the first vehicle image data and extracts second image features from the second vehicle image data. The processing unit projects the first and the second image features onto the ground plane. The processing unit produces at least one image of the surroundings, having either at least a portion of the first vehicle image data associated with the overlap region, or at least a portion of the second vehicle image data associated with the overlap region, based in part on the determination of first image features whose projections lie in the overlap region of the ground plane, and on second image features whose projections lie in the overlap region of the ground plane.
