A camera () mounted on a rear view minor housing () of a vehicle (), which captures a plan view image of the ground on one side of the vehicle for display on an in-vehicle visual display unit () is calibrated to correct for offset of the camera () from an ideal position. During calibration an image of a reference point () on the vehicle () is captured as the mirror housing () is swiveled from a rest position to an operative position. The offset of the actual position of the image of the reference point in the captured image from its ideal position is computed, and a look-up table is prepared, which indicates the position at which pixels of subsequently captured image frames should be located to produce image frames with offset correction.

Method and apparatus for calibrating an image capturing device, and a method and apparatus for outputting image frames from sequentially captured image frames with compensation for image capture device offset
