VEHICLE BACK-UP CAMERA CAPABILITY
Implementing vehicle back-up camera capabilities includes receiving, at a computer processor, dimensions of a vehicle extension for a vehicle make and model. The vehicle back-up camera capabilities also include integrating, via the computer processor, the dimensions with image software of a recording system on a vehicle having the vehicle make and model. The vehicle back-up cameral capabilities also include translating the dimensions to scale with a scaling component of the recording system, and overlaying a graphical depiction of the vehicle extension with a recorded image on a display device using translated dimensions.
1 . A method, comprising:
receiving, at a computer processor, dimensions of a vehicle extension for a vehicle make and model;
integrating, via the computer processor, the dimensions with image software of a recording system on a vehicle having the vehicle make and model;
translating the dimensions to scale with a scaling component of the recording system; and
overlaying a graphical depiction of the vehicle extension with a recorded image on a display device using translated dimensions.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle extension is a tail gate disposed on a rear end of the vehicle.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle extension is a lift gate disposed on a rear end of the vehicle.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the graphical depiction is translucently superimposed with the recorded image.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the graphical depiction is an outline of the vehicle extension superimposed with the recorded image.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle extension is a tail gate and the graphical depiction of the tail gate is superimposed at a location on the recorded image corresponding to a real life location of the tail gate when put in an open position.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle extension is a lift gate and the graphical depiction of the lift gate is superimposed at a location on the recorded image corresponding to a real life location of the lift gate when put in a lifted position.
