Claim:
1. A vehicular driver assist system suitable for use in a vehicle, said vehicular driver assist system comprising: a video processor module disposed at a vehicle equipped with said vehicular driver assist system; said video processor module receiving and processing image data provided by a plurality of video sensors disposed at the equipped vehicle; said video processor module receiving and processing sensor data provided by a plurality of non-video sensors disposed at the equipped vehicle; said plurality of video sensors comprising at least five vehicular cameras; said at least five vehicular cameras comprising a first vehicular camera disposed at a driver side of the equipped vehicle; said at least five vehicular cameras comprising a second vehicular camera disposed at a passenger side of the equipped vehicle; said at least five vehicular cameras comprising a third vehicular camera disposed at a rear portion of the equipped vehicle; said at least five vehicular cameras comprising a fourth vehicular camera disposed at a front portion of the equipped vehicle; said at least five vehicular cameras comprising a fifth vehicular camera disposed at, and viewing forwardly through, an in-cabin side of a windshield of the equipped vehicle; wherein said first vehicular camera has a first field of view exterior of the equipped vehicle and is operable to capture first image data; wherein said second vehicular camera has a second field of view exterior of the equipped vehicle and is operable to capture second image data; wherein said third vehicular camera has a third field of view exterior of the equipped vehicle and is operable to capture third image data; wherein said fourth vehicular camera has a fourth field of view exterior of the equipped vehicle and is operable to capture fourth image data; wherein said fifth vehicular camera has a fifth field of view exterior of the equipped vehicle and is operable to capture fifth image data; wherein said first vehicular camera comprises a CMOS imaging sensor and wherein said second vehicular camera comprises a CMOS imaging sensor and wherein said third vehicular camera comprises a CMOS imaging sensor and wherein said fourth vehicular camera comprises a CMOS imaging sensor and wherein said fifth vehicular camera comprises a CMOS imaging sensor; said plurality of non-video sensors comprising at least one non-video sensor selected from the group consisting of a radar sensor, a near-infrared sensor, a far-infrared sensor, a thermal sensor and a sonar sensor; wherein said video processor module receives first image data captured by said first vehicular camera; wherein said video processor module receives second image data captured by said second vehicular camera; wherein said video processor module receives third image data captured by said third vehicular camera; wherein said video processor module receives fourth image data captured by said fourth vehicular camera; wherein said video processor module receives fifth image data captured by said fifth vehicular camera; wherein said video processor module receives sensor data captured by said plurality of non-video sensors; wherein said video processor module communicates with other vehicle systems via a vehicle bus of the equipped vehicle; wherein received image data is processed at said video processor module to generate a synthesized image; wherein said synthesized image is output from said video processor module for display by a single display screen of a display device of the equipped vehicle that is viewable by a driver of the equipped vehicle when normally operating the equipped vehicle; wherein said synthesized image displayed by said display screen approximates a view as would be viewed from a single virtual camera located exterior the equipped vehicle; and wherein, responsive at least in part to processing of image data and sensor data at said video processor module, a driver assistance system of the equipped vehicle is controlled.
