Abstract
An apparatus includes a primary surround view camera, a supplementary camera, a detection and ranging sensor, and a surround view display. The primary surround view camera is generally placed at a front of a vehicle and provides an operator of the vehicle with a view of the road. The at least one detection and ranging sensor is generally mounted adjacent to the supplementary camera and configured to detect obstacles within a field of view of the supplementary camera. An output of the primary surround view camera is generally used to produce a two-dimensional view of an area around the vehicle and an output of the supplementary camera is (i) reduced to a portion of the field of view of the supplementary camera in which the detection and ranging sensor detected an obstacle and (ii) overlaid on the two-dimensional view of the area around the vehicle to inform the operator of the detected obstacle.
