Method for correcting the image data of a camera system

The invention relates to a method for correcting the image data of a camera system with a color camera which supplies three output signals for three separate color channels in the form of output signal vectors in accordance with the recorded colors. The output signal vectors whose coefficients (R, G, B) represent the output signals supplied by the color camera for the three color channels at a specific position in the observation area are multiplied by an, in particular square, correction matrix. The resulting corrected output signal vectors are then further processed in the camera system.
