Abstract
An apparatus includes a surround view display and a processing circuit. The processing circuit may be configured to (i) use a first signal from one or more primary surround view cameras to produce a two-dimensional view on the surround view display of an area around a bottom of a vehicle, (ii) detect obstacles around and above a top of the vehicle using a third signal from at least one respective detection and ranging sensor, (iii) divide a second signal from the one or more supplementary cameras into portions to obtain a portion less than an entire field of view of the one or more supplementary cameras in which an obstacle is detected, (iv) perform a dewarping operation on the portion less than the entire field of view of the one or more supplementary cameras in which the obstacle is detected, and (v) generate an overlay view containing the portion less than the entire field of view of the one or more supplementary cameras in which the obstacle is detected on the two-dimensional view of the area around the bottom of the vehicle to inform an operator of the detected obstacle above the vehicle.
