1. A method for verifying an indirect view system of a vehicle, comprising:
providing (S10) at least one image capture unit which has at least one image sensor and is configured for capturing image data of at least one recording portion around the vehicle,
providing (S10) at least one image processing unit which is configured for processing the image data captured by the image capture unit,
providing (S10) at least one reproduction unit which is configured for reproducing the image data processed by the image processing unit,
providing (S10) at least one reference transducer at a defined position at the vehicle such that the reference transducer lies in a recording portion of the image capture unit and is depicted on the image sensor, wherein the reference transducer is defined at a reference transducer target position on the image sensor (S20),
capturing (S30) of image data of the at least one recording portion around the vehicle on the image sensor which comprise the reference transducer,
reproducing (S40) at least one image read-out portion read out from the image data of the image sensor on the reproduction unit,
determining (S50) a reference transducer current position of the reference transducer on the image sensor,
comparing (S60, S70) the reference transducer current position and the reference transducer target position to that extent whether the reference transducer current position is equal to the reference transducer target position or not,
wherein at least the reference transducer current position is depicted on the reproduction unit and the comparing (S60, S70) occurs on the reproduction unit,
comparing a current field of view and a target field of view by comparing certain points associated with the target field of view with points of the current field of view, and
determining whether the image capture unit is in one of an operating position, a displaced position and a fixedly defined position.
