SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING A HYBRID CAMERA VIEW IN A VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A vehicle, comprising:
- a plurality of cameras for capturing images within a field of view surrounding the vehicle;
a processor for generating a real-time view of an area within the field of view using currently-captured images, and a time-delayed view of a region outside the field of view using previously-captured images stored in a memory; and
a display for displaying a hybrid view comprising the real-time view and the time-delayed view.

Abstract
Embodiments include a vehicle comprising a plurality of cameras for capturing images within a field of view surrounding the vehicle; a processor for generating a real-time view of an area within the field of view using currently-captured images, and a time-delayed view of a region outside the field of view using previously-captured images stored in a memory; and a display for displaying a hybrid view comprising the real-time view and time-delayed view. Embodiments also include a vehicle camera system comprising a plurality of cameras configured to capture images within a field of view surrounding the vehicle, and a processor configured to generate a real-time view of an area within the field of view using currently-captured images, a time-delayed view of a region outside the field of view using previously-captured images stored in a memory, and a hybrid view of the vehicle by integrating the time-delayed view into the real-time view.

8. A method, comprising:
-
retrieving, from a memory, stored images showing areas surrounding a vehicle; generating, by a processor, a time-delayed view of a surface underneath the vehicle based on the retrieved images; combining, by the processor, the time-delayed view with real-time images captured by cameras positioned around the vehicle to form a hybrid view of the vehicle; and providing the hybrid view to a vehicle display for display thereon. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
