Abstract: A method for determining a motion model of an object by an assistance system is disclosed. The method involves capturing an image of the surroundings with the moving object by a capturing device, encoding the image by a feature extraction module of a neural network of an electronic computing device, decoding the encoded image by an object segmentation module and generating a first loss function, decoding the at least one encoded image by a bounding box estimation module and generating a second loss function, decoding the second loss function depending on the decoding of the image by a motion decoding module and generating a third loss function; and determining the motion model depending on the first loss function and the third loss function.

Abstract: A method for reducing abasing artefacts in an output image may include obtaining a plurality of input images captured by a plurality of cameras, each camera having a different field of view of an environment surrounding a vehicle, wherein the plurality of input images are mapped to the output image to represent the environment, from a predefined virtual point of view. The method may further include for each pixel position in the output image, obtaining a first pixel density value corresponding to a first output pixel position in the output image; and upon determining that the first pixel density value is higher than a threshold, calculating a first output brightness value corresponding to the first output pixel position based at least on a plurality of brightness values corresponding to a plurality of neighboring pixels of a corresponding position in a first input image of the plurality of input images.
