1. A vision system for a vehicle comprising:
- a light source generating an illumination beam;
a receiver generating a first image signal and a second image signal, at least one of said first image signal and said second image signal being generated in response to at least a reflected portion of said illumination beam; and
a controller coupled to said light source and said receiver, said controller generating an image in response to said first image signal and said second image signal.

Abstract
A vision system (10) for a vehicle (14) includes a light source (46) that generates an illumination beam (20). A receiver (62) generates a first image signal and a second image signal. The first image signal is generated in response to a reflected portion of the illumination beam (20). A controller is coupled to the light source (46) and the receiver (62). The controller generates an image in response to the first image signal and the second image signal.

20. A vision system for a vehicle comprising:
-
a light source generating an illumination beam;
a receiver generating an illuminated image signal and a non-illuminated image signal, said illuminated image signal being generated in response to at least a reflected portion of said illumination beam and said non-illuminated image signal being generated when said light source is in a low illumination state; and
a controller coupled to said light source and said receiver, said controller generating a fused image signal in response to said illuminated image signal and said non-illuminated image signal.
