Patent ID: 7961979

Claim:
Method for producing an image from a vehicle ( 10 ), comprising the steps of: mounting a first camera ( 11 ) on the vehicle ( 10 ), the first camera having a field of view ( 15 ); mounting a second camera ( 12 ) on the vehicle ( 10 ) and on a predetermined position relative to the first camera ( 11 ), the second camera ( 12 ) having a field of view ( 16 ); acquiring a first image with the first camera ( 11 ); acquiring a second image with the second camera ( 12 ) after the first image has been acquired when a position of the second camera is proximate to or coincides with a position from which the first image was taken due to movement of the vehicle, whereby the field of view ( 16 ) of the second camera ( 12 ) partially overlaps the field of view ( 15 ) of the first camera ( 11 ) when the first image was taken; and generating an image by stitching the first image and the second image together.
