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 24):
The image capturing method of  claim 23 , wherein the grayscale levels are divided into a first grayscale section, a second grayscale section, a third grayscale section and a fourth grayscale section sequentially in the direction from the highest grayscale level to the lowest grayscale level, and the step of adjusting the fill light intensity or the gain further comprises:\n decreasing the fill light intensity or the gain if the grayscale level associated with the pixel numbered with the predetermined number falls inside the first grayscale section; not adjusting the fill light intensity or the gain if the grayscale level associated with the pixel numbered with the predetermined number falls inside the second grayscale section or the fourth grayscale section; and increasing the fill light intensity or the gain if the grayscale level associated with the pixel numbered with the predetermined number falls inside the third grayscale section.
