Abstract:
A vehicular vision system includes a plurality of cameras disposed at the vehicle and having respective fields of view exterior of the vehicle and being operable to capture frames of image data. Image data captured by each of the first camera is provided to an ECU via a respective ETHERNET link from the respective camera to the ECU. Control signals controlling operation of each camera are provided from the ECU to the respective camera via the respective ETHERNET link. Each camera receives from the ECU via the respective ETHERNET link a camera control signal that regulates timing of the respective camera to be synchronous with reference timing of the ECU. Regulation of timing of each camera includes starting the respective camera synchronous to the ECU reference timing and holding the respective camera synchronous to the ECU reference timing.
