Abstract:
A vehicular image pickup device includes an image capturing unit, a fill light unit and a processing unit. The image capturing unit captures driving images. The fill light unit provides a fill light. The processing unit obtains a grayscale quantity distribution of pixels of the driving images on a plurality of grayscale levels. The processing unit numbers the pixels sequentially in the direction from the highest grayscale level to the lowest grayscale level according to the grayscale quantity distribution until the numbering reaches a predetermined number. The processing unit adjusts a fill light intensity of the fill light unit or a gain of the image capturing unit according to the grayscale level of the pixel whose number is the predetermined number.

Claim (Index 8):
The image capturing method of  claim 7 , wherein the step of fine-tuning the shutter speed and the gain or the fill light intensity further comprises:\n comparing a crest value of the waveform with a predetermined peak value; not adjusting the gain or the fill light intensity and the shutter speed if the crest value is greater than or equal to the predetermined peak value; and increasing the fill light intensity or the gain if the crest value is less than the predetermined peak value.
