An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes an electronic device. The electronic device is configured to provide a surround view based on a combination of at least one stereoscopic view range and at least one monoscopic view range. A method is also described. The method includes obtaining a plurality of images from a respective plurality of lenses. The method also includes avoiding an obstructing lens based on rendering a stereoscopic surround view including a first rendering ellipsoid and a second rendering ellipsoid. Rendering the stereoscopic surround view includes natively mapping a first image of the plurality of images to a first range of the first rendering ellipsoid and natively mapping the first image to a second range of the second rendering ellipsoid.
