1. A method for determining a seam for a surround view camera system, the method comprising: determining a corrected side view image at bird's-eye perspective; generating a cost map for an overlapping region of a plurality of views; finding a minimum cost seam for the overlapping region based on the cost map; computing a weight based on a distance from a pixel to the seam, the distance from the pixel to the seam being a smallest number of steps between the pixel and a seam pixel; blending the pixel based on the computed weight; and generating a composite view image based on the blended pixel.
