Claim:
1. A method of displaying video surveillance fields of view limitations, the method comprising: loading a first set of data relating to the size and distance of objects in an entire area from a first vantage point into a database; loading a second set data relating to the size and distance of the objects in the same entire area from a second vantage point into the database; loading a global position of the first vantage point and the second vantage point into the database; determining a global position of the objects in the same entire area based on information in the database; and using information in the database to create a simulated overhead image of the same entire area from an orientation above the same entire area where there is no instrument collecting information or images, wherein the simulated overhead image identifies hidden locations within the same entire area that may not be seen by video surveillance from the first vantage point and the second vantage point.
