Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- determining, by a processor, a relative position between a first vehicle of an articulated vehicle and a second vehicle of the articulated vehicle;
receiving, by the processor, a first image from a first camera arranged on the first vehicle and a second image from a second camera arranged on the second vehicle; and
combining, by the processor, the first image and the second image based on the relative position between the first vehicle and the second vehicle to generate a combined image of surroundings of the articulated vehicle.

16. A system comprising:
-
a first camera arranged on a first vehicle of an articulated vehicle; a second camera arranged on a second vehicle of the articulated vehicle; a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory, the processor comprising; position determining logic that determines a relative position between the first vehicle and the second vehicle; image receiving logic that receives a first image from the first camera and a second image from the second camera; and image combination logic that combines the first image and the second image based on the relative position between the first vehicle and the second vehicle to generate a combined image of surroundings of the articulated vehicle.
