Hi. TLDR: I am looking for guidance on where to begin with creating a system that takes 4 video camera feeds and stitches them together, in real time, to provide a bird’s eye view of a vehicle in real time. Are there any existing open source projects or software that can handle the coding for this? I don’t know much about coding but am willing to learn since this is not the only project I have in mind.
I’m sure most people have seen some version of type of system I am talking about by now, but here is an overpriced version of one:

And this would basically be ideal (with security recording), but for my 2004 Sprinter haha:

There are plenty of options available on the market (at prices much lower than the example), but even the high end ones use very cheap cameras and the video quality is very poor. I would like to be able to choose the camera and also send the footage to a DVR recorder that has “smart” record functionality. So my best option is a DIY install.
I am a little lost at where to even begin with the coding side of this though. I do have the ambition however. Any guidance would be very helpful. Thank you.
