    Abstract: A vehicular vision system includes at least one color camera disposed at a vehicle and having an image sensor operable to capture image data. A first system on chip (SoC) includes an image signal processor that receives captured image data and converts the received image data to converted data that is in a format suitable for machine vision processing. A second system on chip (SoC) receives captured image data and communicates display data to a display disposed in the vehicle, with the display data being in a format suitable for display of video images at the display. At startup of the vehicle, video images derived from the display data are displayed by the display within a time period following startup of the vehicle and machine vision data processing of converted data does not commence until after the display time period has elapsed following startup of the vehicle.

    Abstract: A vision system of a vehicle includes a camera disposed at a vehicle and having a field of view exterior of the vehicle. The camera captures image data and outputs a low voltage differential signal (LVDS). The system includes an LVDS repeater that receives the LVDS signal output by the camera and outputs at least two LVDS outputs to respective receivers. Each of the at least two LVDS outputs is representative of the LVDS signal output by the camera. The receivers include a receiver of respective ones of at least two devices selected from the group consisting of (i) a vehicle head unit, (ii) a display device, (iii) an electronic control unit of the vehicle and (iv) an image processor for a driver assistance function.

    Abstract: A vehicular vision system includes a plurality of cameras disposed at a vehicle and having respective exterior fields of view. Each camera includes an image sensor and a microcontroller having memory, and each camera is in communication with a vehicle controller. Image data captured by the image sensor of each camera is communicated to the vehicle controller. The vehicle controller communicates control data to each camera, and the communicated control data is stored in memory of each camera. With the communicated control data stored in the memory of each camera, the vehicle controller communicates a trigger signal to each camera during operation of the vehicle and vision system. Responsive to the communicated trigger signal, the microcontroller of each camera loads parameters of the control data stored in the respective memory into the respective image sensor so that the parameters of the image sensors of all of the cameras are synchronized.

    Abstract: A vehicular vision system includes a camera and a repeater element at a vehicle. The repeater element is powered at least in part via power-over-coax and includes a de-serializer, a repeater and at least two serializers. The camera captures image data and outputs a camera output that includes serialized image data. The camera output is received at the repeater element and is de-serialized via the de-serializer to generate a de-serialized output. The de-serialized output is provided to the repeater and at least two repeater outputs are provided to the serializers. The serializers serialize the received repeater outputs to generate respective serialized outputs. The serializers each output the respective serialized output to a respective receiver of the vehicle. Each of the serialized outputs is representative of the serialized image data of the camera output received from the camera.

    Abstract: A method for providing outputs to receivers of a vehicular vision system includes disposing a camera at a vehicle and disposing an LVDS repeater device at the vehicle. The LVDS repeater device includes a de-serializer, a repeater and at least two serializers. The LVDS repeater device is powered at least in part via power-over-coax from a head unit or ECU of the vehicle. The camera captures image data and outputs an LVDS camera output. The LVDS camera output is received at the LVDS repeater device and is de-serialized via the de-serializer. The de-serialized LVDS camera output is provided to the repeater and at least two outputs are provided to the serializers and are serialized. The serializers each output a respective LVDS repeater output to a respective receiver of the vehicle. The receivers include a receiver of respective ones of the vehicle head unit and the ECU.

    Abstract: A vision system for a vehicle includes at least one camera disposed at a vehicle and having an image sensor operable to capture image data. A display is operable to display video images for viewing by a driver of the vehicle during normal operation of the vehicle. A first system on chip (SoC) receives captured image data and processes the received captured image data for machine vision. The first SoC, responsive to image processing of the received captured image data, generates an output for a driver assistance system of the vehicle. A second system on chip (SoC) receives captured image data and communicates the image data to the display.

    Abstract: A vehicular vision system includes a camera disposed at a vehicle and having a field of view exterior of the vehicle. The camera comprises an imager that captures image data. The camera comprises first and second outputs that output a respective data stream. A display device receives a first data stream from the first output of the camera, and a machine vision electronic control unit (ECU) receives a second data stream from the second output of said camera. The machine vision ECU processes the second data stream for at least one driving assist feature of the vehicle. The display device receives the first data stream and displays video images at a display screen of the display device for viewing by an occupant of the vehicle.
