Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A computer-implemented method for reconstructing and displaying an image of an area behind a vehicle. The method includes capturing, by an image capturing device, an image of the area behind the vehicle; receiving, at a controller, the captured image; separating, by the controller, the image into three image pieces; correcting, at the controller, the middle image piece by using a distortion correction algorithm; cropping, at the controller, the first and second side image pieces into a rectangular format; converting, at the controller, the first and second image pieces into a trapezoidal format; aligning, at the controller, the two side image pieces with the corrected middle image piece; and creating, at the controller, a continuous image of the area behind the vehicle.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method for reconstructing and displaying an image of an area behind a vehicle, the method comprising: capturing, by an image capturing device, an image of the area behind the vehicle; receiving, at a controller, the captured image; separating, by the controller, the image into three image pieces—a first side piece, a middle piece, and a second side piece; correcting, at the controller, the middle image piece by using a distortion…
