Abstract

Device for improving a top-view image of a vehicle and / or trailer (100), the device comprising: at least one memory (103) comprising computer-executable instructions; and at least one processor configured to read and execute the computer-executable instructions, wherein the computer-executable instructions cause the at least one processor to: Determine whether the trailer (404) is coupled to the vehicle (403), Determine (S220) a trajectory of the vehicle and / or trailer (100) based at least on a trailer coupling angle; and Zooming (S230) of the top view image of the vehicle and / or trailer (100) and / or panning (S230) of the top view image based on the determined trajectory and based on whether the trailer (404) is attached to the vehicle (403), where the top view is zoomed out when the trailer (404) is coupled to the vehicle (403), and the top view is zoomed in when the trailer (404) is uncoupled from the vehicle (403).
