A method for processing image data of two sensors of a stereo sensor system that are suitable for recording images, each of the sensors being configured to record the image data section by section in sensor sections of the sensor that are situated at different positions. The method includes providing information on a geometrical offset between the positions of two sensor sections of the first sensor and the second sensor which have corresponding image data, and reading out image information of the first sensor and image information of the second sensor, the reading out taking place with reference to the positions of the sensor sections, from which the image data are read out, using the offset.
