    摘要: The invention relates to a camera system, and to a method for controlling the camera system, for capturing images of the surroundings of a vehicle for a driver assistance system of the vehicle. The camera system comprises a first rolling shutter camera (1) having a first aperture angle α, a second rolling shutter camera (2) having a second aperture angle β, and control electronics. The first camera (1) is suitable for generating a wide-angle camera image, that is, the first aperture angle α is greater than the second aperture angle β of the second camera (2) which is suitable for generating a tele camera image. The two cameras (1, 2) are designed in such a way that both camera images have an overlap region.
    The control electronics is configured to synchronize the two cameras (1, 2).
    The geometric arrangement of the two cameras (1, 2) with respect to one another, and the position of the overlap region (10) in the wide-angle image and in the tele camera image, are determined by means of continuous estimation.
    The stored geometric arrangement and position are taken into consideration during synchronization of the first camera (1) and the second camera (2) of the camera system.
