1. A system comprising:
- a vehicle;
a camera mounted on the vehicle and generating a camera image having a field of view in excess of 180 degrees;
a processor accessing a computer-aided design (CAD) assembly to generate, from the camera image, a display image with a field of view of more than 180 degrees; and
a display mounted in the vehicle and communicating with the processor to present the display image, wherein the CAD assembly includes a core module incapable of generating, from the camera image, a display image with a field of view of more than 180 degrees, and a plug-in module cooperating with the core module to generate, from the camera image, a display image with a field of view of more than 180 degrees.

Abstract
A plug-in is provided to a CAD program on a vehicle to permit the CAD program to present an image from a vehicle-mounted video camera that exceeds a 180 degree field of view, even though the core CAD program without plug-in is designed to present no more than a 180 degree field of view image.

8. A tangible computer readable storage device bearing instructions executable by a processor to undertake logic comprising:
-
receiving a camera image having a field of view in excess of 180 degrees; accessing a computer-aided design (CAD) assembly to generate, from the camera image, a display image with a field of view of more than 180 degrees, the CAD assembly including a core module incapable of generating, from the camera image, a display image with a field of view of more than 180 degrees, and a plug-in module cooperating with the core module to generate, from the camera image, a display image with a field of view of more than 180 degrees; and presenting the display image on a visual display. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. Method comprising:
-
presenting, on a display in a vehicle, a user interface permitting user input representing a camera field of view; using the user input to generate a display image from a camera image, the display image having the field of view input from the user interface; and presenting the display image on the display, the display image being characterized by the field of view, wherein the user input defines an aspect ratio. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
