1. A method for image processing, the method comprising:
providing a camera controller (1) having an image data stream input (2) which is connectable to an image recording apparatus (18), an image data stream output (4) which is connectable to an image display apparatus (19), a first image data stream path (3) from the image data stream input (2) to the image data stream output (4), and a second image data stream path (5) from the image data stream input (2) to the image data stream output (4), in which an image processing unit (6) is arranged;
producing a first checking data stream (9);
diverting a second checking data stream (10) from the image data stream in the second image data stream path (5);
ascertaining a deviation between the second checking data stream (10) and the first checking data stream; and
switching over the image data stream path in dependence on the deviation.
