Abstract:
A vision system for a vehicle includes a camera disposed at the vehicle and having a field of view exterior of the vehicle. The camera includes a lens and an imager. A control includes a processor that processes image data captured by the camera. A light emitting device includes at least one light emitting diode. The light emitting device, when the at least one light emitting diode is powered, emits near infrared light at a region encompassed by the field of view of the camera. The control, responsive to processing of image data captured by the camera, determines an ambient light level exterior the vehicle. The control, responsive to the determined ambient light level, automatically controls intensity of the near infrared light emitted by the light emitting device.

Claim (Index 19):
A vision system for a vehicle, said vision system comprising:\n a camera disposed at a vehicle and having a field of view forward of the vehicle, said camera comprising a lens and an imager; a control comprising a processor that processes image data captured by said camera; a near infrared light emitting device comprising at least one light emitting diode, wherein said light emitting device, when said at least one light emitting diode is powered, emits near infrared radiation at a region encompassed by the field of view of said camera; wherein said control, responsive at least in part to processing of image data captured by said camera, determines an ambient light level exterior the vehicle; wherein said control, responsive at least in part to the determined ambient light level, automatically controls intensity of the near infrared radiation emitted by said near infrared light emitting device; wherein said control deactivates said near infrared light emitting device when the determined ambient light level is at or above a first threshold level; wherein said control activates said near infrared light emitting device at a low level responsive to the determined ambient light level falling below the first threshold level; wherein said control increases the intensity of the near infrared radiation emitted by said near infrared light emitting device from the low level to higher intensity levels responsive to the determined ambient light level decreasing to respective threshold levels below the first threshold level; and wherein said control, via processing of image data captured by said camera, detects objects present exterior the vehicle.
