Methods and apparatus for providing an expanded field of view (FoV) using multiple cameras of a device. A device may include front-facing cameras that capture views of an environment, as well as side cameras that capture wider-angle views. Images from the front and side cameras may be processed to provide a stereo view of the environment with an expanded FoV. Images from the front cameras are processed to provide stereo images, and depth information is generated from the stereo images. The depth information is expanded into a second layer, and a median depth is set for a third layer. The side camera images are undistorted, pixel information from the side camera images is then reprojected into the second and third layers, and the second and third layers are blurred.
