ABSTRACT:
A wide angle imaging system for providing a wide angle field of view of an area exteriorly of a vehicle includes an image capture device having a field of view directed exteriorly of the vehicle, an outer wide angle lens, a focusing lens and a display. The image capture device may comprise an array of pixels and may have a coarse distribution of pixels and a fine distribution of pixels. The display may be operable to display a substantially undistorted image to the driver or occupant of the vehicle in response to a signal output of the image capture device.
