Abstract
A panoramic image system includes at least two camera modules, at least two display elements, and an image processor. Each of the camera modules takes a rear field of view or side field of view to obtain a view image. Each of the display elements displays each of the view images, and each of the view images is configured to have an overlapping region. The image processor receives each of the view images and pieces each of the view images into a panoramic image according to each of the overlapping regions. Each of the display elements selectively displays the panoramic image partially or displays the panoramic image entirely according to a region of interest by a user's observation. The panoramic image system may be applied to a vehicle-monitoring system to assist the driver in viewing the traffic conditions behind the vehicle.
