1. A controller for a vehicle, the vehicle comprising a vehicle accelerometer, and the vehicle also comprising an imaging device for generating image data, and the imaging device further comprising an imaging accelerometer for generating imaging accelerometer data for determining the orientation of the imaging device relative to the vehicle, the controller comprising:
an input for receiving a signal indicative of the imaging accelerometer data and the generated image data;
an input for receiving a signal indicative of the vehicle accelerometer data;
a processor arranged to calculate the magnitude of a yaw angle between the vehicle and the received image data in dependence on the difference between the imaging accelerometer data and the vehicle accelerometer data when the vehicle is accelerating; and
an output for outputting corrected image data in dependence on the generated image data and the calculated yaw angle.
