1. An imaging system comprising:
- a plurality of cameras coupled to a terrestrial vehicle, the plurality of cameras including a first camera configured to output a first video signal, a second camera configured to output a second video signal, and a third camera configured to output a third video signal, wherein a first video image associated with the first video signal includes a field of view of an environment of the first camera, a second video image associated with the second video signal includes a field of view of an environment of the second camera, and a third video image associated with the third video signal includes a field of view of an environment of the third camera;
at least one processor; and
a computer-readable medium encoded with instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, configures the imaging system to;
receive user input,based on a received first user input, process the first video signal and the second video signal to generate a first display configuration including a first perspectively corrected video image so as to display a first region of the first video image and a second region of the second video image concurrently on a display of a display system, andbased on a received second user input, process the third video signal to generate a second display configuration including a second perspectively corrected video image so as to display a third region of the third video image in full screen on the display.

Abstract
A method for correlating views of two or more video camera systems includes obtaining a plurality of data point coordinate sets to represent relative positioning between the camera systems and data point objects in the environment. The views may be correlated through Interpolation or extrapolation using the obtained data point coordinate sets. Devices such as lasers may also be used to correlate views of two or more video camera systems.
