Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 10:
11. A vehicular vision system, the vehicular vision system comprising:
a plurality of cameras disposed at a vehicle equipped with the vehicular vision system and viewing exterior of the vehicle, wherein each camera of the plurality of cameras comprises a respective two dimensional array of photosensing pixels, and wherein each camera of the plurality of cameras captures frames of image data;
an electronic control unit (ECU) comprising electronic circuitry and associated software;
wherein the electronic circuitry of the ECU comprises an image processor for processing frames of image data captured by each camera of the plurality of cameras;
a video display disposed in the vehicle and operable to display video images derived from frames of image data captured by the plurality of cameras;
wherein, responsive to a view selection input selecting a view for the video display, the vehicular vision system, for at least some of the plurality of cameras, determines a respective subset of the respective two dimensional array of photosensing pixels based on tracing rays from pixels of the video display using the selected view to the respective two dimensional array of photosensing pixels;
wherein the vehicular vision system, while capturing frames of image data with the at least some of the plurality of cameras, buffers the respective subset of the respective two dimensional array of photosensing pixels of each frame of image data;
wherein the vehicular vision system, using the ECU, generates display frames of image data using each respective buffered subset of the respective two dimensional array of photosensing pixels of the frames of image data; and
wherein the video display displays video images derived from the display frames of image data.
