9. A method for exterior mirror simulation, whereby an image of a wide-angle lens having a field of view is recorded, and the information of the pixels of the optical sensor undergoes the following steps:
-
recording of the image; determining the distortion; selecting an image rectification algorithm; applying the rectification algorithm to subset of the total pixels in the image to create a rectified image; storing the rectified image; and displaying the rectified image on the display. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 15)

14. A rear view assembly for a motor vehicle, said rear view assembly comprising:
-
a housing fixedly secured to the motor vehicle, said housing including an optical sensor housed therewith and a lens focusing light for said optical sensor to capture a wide-angle image, said optical sensor creating electrical signal representative of the focused light; a display device operatively connected to said optical sensor for receiving said electrical signal and for displaying the electrical signal as a rear view image for a driver of the motor vehicle such that said rear view image includes distortions created by said lens. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
