VISION SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A vision system for a vehicle, said vision system comprising:
- an image sensor disposed at a subject vehicle and having an exterior field of view exterior of the subject vehicle;
a control operable to process image data captured by said image sensor to detect an object exterior of the subject vehicle;
wherein said control is operable to process captured image data to detect points of interest present in the field of view of said image sensor and wherein, responsive to said processing of captured image data, said control is operable to determine movement of the detected points of interest; and
wherein said control is operable to process captured image data to determine movement vectors and wherein, responsive to said processing of captured image data, said control is operable to determine an object of interest in the field of view of said image sensor and exterior of the subject vehicle.

Abstract
A vision system for a vehicle includes an image sensor disposed at a subject vehicle and having a field of view exterior of the subject vehicle. A control is operable to process image data captured by the image sensor to detect an object exterior of the subject vehicle. The control is operable to process captured image data to detect points of interest present in the field of view of the image sensor and, responsive to processing of captured image data, the control is operable to determine movement of the detected points of interest. The control is operable to process captured image data to determine movement vectors and, responsive to processing of captured image data, the control is operable to determine an object of interest in the field of view of the image sensor and exterior of the subject vehicle.

15. A vision system for a vehicle, said vision system comprising:
-
an image sensor disposed at a rear portion of a subject vehicle and having an exterior field of view rearward of the subject vehicle; wherein said image sensor comprises part of a camera module, and wherein said camera module is configured for use as a rear backup camera of a vehicle; a control operable to process image data captured by said image sensor to detect an object exterior of the subject vehicle; wherein said camera module includes said control; wherein said control is operable to process captured image data to detect points of interest present in the field of view of said image sensor and wherein, responsive to said processing of captured image data, said control is operable to determine movement of the detected points of interest; wherein said control is operable to process captured image data to determine movement vectors and wherein, responsive to said processing of captured image data, said control is operable to determine an object of interest in the field of view of said image sensor and rearward of the subject vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. A vision system for a vehicle, said vision system comprising:
-
an image sensor disposed at a subject vehicle and having an exterior field of view exterior of the subject vehicle; wherein said image sensor comprises part of a camera module; a control operable to process image data captured by said image sensor to detect an object exterior of the subject vehicle; wherein said camera module includes said control; wherein said control is operable to process captured image data to detect points of interest present in the field of view of said image sensor and wherein, responsive to said processing of captured image data, said control is operable to determine movement of the detected points of interest; wherein said control is operable to process captured image data to determine movement vectors and wherein, responsive to said processing of captured image data, said control is operable to determine an object of interest in the field of view of said image sensor and exterior of the subject vehicle; and wherein said control determines that detected points of interest are part of an object of interest when at least one movement vector is greater than a threshold amount. - View Dependent Claims (20)
