First Claim
1. A system for processing images corresponding to a view external to a vehicle, comprising:
- a first signal receiving portion configured to receive a signal corresponding to an image of a view external to a vehicle;
a second signal receiving portion configured to receive a signal corresponding to a speed of the vehicle; and
a signal processing portion configured to;
direct to a first display portion positioned at a first location of the vehicle a first signal corresponding to the image;
direct to a second display portion positioned at a second location of the vehicle a second signal corresponding to the image, the second location being different than the first location; and

Abstract
Methods and systems for processing images corresponding to views external to a vehicle are disclosed. A system in accordance with one embodiment of the invention includes first and second signal receiving portions configured to receive a signal corresponding to an image of a view external to the vehicle and a speed of the vehicle, respectively. A signal processing portion can direct to a first display portion a first signal corresponding to the image and to a second display portion a second signal corresponding to the image, with the first and second display portions positioned at different locations of the vehicle. The second signal can be delayed by a time that corresponds at least approximately inversely to the speed of the vehicle. Accordingly, a viewer seeing both display portions can receive a visual indication that the vehicle is moving.
