Abstract
A vehicle vision system includes at least one camera operable to capture image data, and an image processor chip operable to process image data captured by the at least one camera for detecting at least one of a vehicle and a pedestrian present in the field of view of the at least one camera. The image processor chip is surface mounted at a mounting location of a circuit board that has a plurality of solder pads established thereat that correspond to a plurality of respective solder points of the image processor chip. The plurality of solder pads include elongated solder pads having respective longitudinal axes. The mounting location includes first, second, third and fourth quadrants. The longitudinal axes of elongated solder pads disposed at the first quadrant are aligned different from the longitudinal axes of elongated solder pads disposed at the second quadrant.
