A method and apparatus of seamlessly blending fields of view with reduced parallax. A first camera (12) having a first principle point (14) and a first field of view (16), a second camera (18), and an optical element (20) are arranged such that a virtual image of the second camera is formed. The virtual image has a second principle point, which is near the first principle point (14), and a second field of view (22), which overlaps the first field of view (16). The principle points are spaced apart such that the camera parallax is less than a predetermined maximum, but such that the fields of view (16, 22) overlap sufficiently to enable seamless blending of the fields of view. |
