Systems, methods, and apparatus for enhancing a camera field of view in a vehicle

A vehicle comprising:

• at least one camera;
• one or more reflective surfaces, wherein the one or more reflective surfaces are dynamically configurable;
• at least one memory for storing data and computer-executable instructions;
• and
• one or more processors configured to access the at least one memory and further configured to execute computer executable instructions for:
• capturing image information from one or more objects or one or more occupants associated with the vehicle;
• processing the image information;
• identify trigger information associated with one or more of the image information, the one or more objects, or the one or more occupants associated with the vehicle;
• configuring the one or more reflective surfaces, based at least in part on the received trigger information, wherein configuring comprises positioning the one or more reflective surfaces with respect to the camera field of view;
• and
• adjusting the position of the one or more reflective surfaces based at least on the processing of the image information.

A computer program product, comprising a computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, said computer readable program code adapted to be executed to implement a method for enhancing a field of view associated with a camera in a vehicle, the method further comprising:

• capturing image information from one or more objects or one or more occupants associated with the vehicle;
• processing the image information;
• receiving or identifying trigger information associated with one or more of the image information, the one or more objects, or the one or more occupants associated with the vehicle;
• configuring one or more reflective surfaces, based at least in part on the received trigger information, wherein configuring comprises positioning the one or more reflective surfaces with respect to the camera field of view;
• and
• adjusting the position of the one or more reflective surfaces based at least on the processing of the image information.
