The Surround View Camera system is also known as the Birds Eye View camera system. This system is intended to provide a 360° degree top view by supporting four surround view cameras with a CVPM that stitches the video feeds together and outputs it to a display screen.
This 360° degree top view intended to be a parking aid and to assist with eliminating blind spots from the driver vision.
OPERATION
The SVC system uses multiple cameras to provide situational awareness during maneuvers requiring real-time visual checks of the vehicle's perimeter.
The SVC system provides an automatically selected view with minimal distortion from which it is easy to judge distance and orientation to obstacles in the field of view.
The SVC system automatically displays an on-screen mirrored image of the rear surroundings behind the vehicle whenever the gear shift lever is placed into "REVERSE".
The SVC system views are displayed based on PRND status, vehicle speed and trajectory with more view options available through direct on-screen interaction on the touch screen display.
When enabled, active dynamic, multicolored gridlines are overlaid on the video image to illustrate the width of the vehicle and its projected path based on the steering wheel angle, wheelbase and direction of travel.
