Apparatus and method for displaying information

The present invention provides a display method for use in a vehicle comprising: obtaining 600 images of a region external to the vehicle via at least one camera, storing 608 at least a portion of the obtained images, generating 614 a composite image from a current image and a previously stored image by matching 612 portions of the stored image and the current image and displaying 616 at least part of the composite image; wherein the composite image comprises a first region generated from the current image and a second region generated from the stored image, the second region not being visible within the current image and wherein storing a first captured image frame, determining a degree of overlap between the first captured image frame and a second captured image frame and for the second captured image storing a non-overlapping portion of the second image frame. The composite image may comprise at least part of the underneath of the vehicle and may be displayed overlaying on part of a vehicle e.g. the bonnet as though the part of the vehicle were partly transparent or it may be translucent. The composite image may include a graphical representation of part of the vehicle e.g. wheels, engine, suspension.
