A system, method, and non-transitory computer-readable medium are provided for creating a freeform field of view mask for a camera in a vehicle to increase the field of view of the camera during operation of the vehicle. The camera captures an image of a portion of the vehicle in front of a calibration screen. A processor includes logic that applies a blurring filter to the captured image to create a blurred image, determines a freeform boundary of a field of view of the camera in the blurred image, creates a field of view mask based on the freeform boundary; and applies the field of view mask to the camera for maximizing the field of view of the camera during operation of the vehicle.
