abstract="Drivers of heavy goods vehicles are not able to survey the whole surrounding area of their vehicle due to large blind spot regions. This paper shows how catadioptric cameras - a combination of cameras and mirrors - can be used to survey the surrounding area of vehicles. Four such cameras were mounted on a truck-trailer combination, and the images are combined such that obstacles are visible in an image presented to the driver. This image is a bird's eye view of the vehicle. Additionally, corridors indicating the path of motion of the vehicle are overlaid to the resulting image. To compute those corridors, a mathematical description of the path of motion is derived. Such a system does not only support the driver during maneuvering tasks but also increases safety of driving large vehicles.<p />",
