A system and method for combining images generated by separate sources. The system comprises a plurality of video image data sources that generate separate video images. The video images are captured and scaled by image processing hardware to fit within the viewports of a target window generated by a computing device. The parameters of the viewports are associated with the parameters of the target window such that changes to the target window result in corresponding changes to the viewports. The method comprises scaling the separate images to fit within the viewports using redundant data within each video image to interpolate pixel data at the boundary regions of adjacent images to eliminate artifacts at the boundary regions.

As video systems develop rapidly, a lot of video applications already appear, and subsequently, a large number of algorithm designs and image processing hardware devices emerge. One is the application of a wide-angle lens - fisheye lens. The fisheye lens has the advantages of short focal distance and wide visual angle, and is widely applied in fields such as virtual scenes, video monitoring, intelligent transportation and robot navigation. However, the fisheye lens has an inherent shortcoming, images shot by the fisheye lens are distorted severely, and if the projection information of the severely distorted images needs to be utilized, the distorted images have to be corrected into images according with the visual habit of people.
