Active vehicle night vision system with adaptive imaging

摘要

A vision system 10 for a vehicle is disclosed which includes a light source 14 generating an illumination beam, a receiver 15 having a pixel array 70 for capturing an image corresponding to a first horizontal field of view (FOV) angle in response to at least a reflected portion of the illumination beam and a controller 11 coupled to the light source 14 and the receiver 15. The controller 11 receives e.g. a vehicle speed input and, in response, selects a portion of the image as a non-linear function of the vehicle speed to generate a second horizontal FOV angle for displaying to a vehicle operator.
