Abstract

An image processing system is disclosed for a mobile machine. The system may include a plurality of cameras mounted on the machine and configured to capture image data of an environment around the machine. The system may further include a display and a processing device. The processing device may obtain information indicative of a current position of at least one camera relative to the machine. Based on the obtained information, the processing device may select a stitching configuration out of a plurality of predefined stitching configurations. The processing device may use the selected stitching configuration to generate a surround-view image of the environment around the machine. Thereafter, the processing device may also render the surround-view image on the display.
