Abstract:
A vision system for a vehicle includes at least one underbody camera disposed at an underside of a vehicle and having a field of view encompassing a ground surface under the vehicle and being traveled on by the vehicle. The underbody camera captures image data as the vehicle is moving. A control includes an image processor that processes image data captured by the underbody camera. The control, responsive to processing of image data captured by the underbody camera, detects an object under the vehicle that is greater than a threshold height. The control, responsive to detection of the object, generates an output to inform a driver of the vehicle of the detected object under the vehicle.

Claim (Index 17):
A vision system for a vehicle, said vision system comprising:\n a first underbody camera disposed along a longitudinal centerline of the vehicle and rearward of front wheels of the vehicle and forward of rear wheels of the vehicle; wherein said first underbody camera has a field of view at least downward and forward underneath the vehicle encompassing a ground surface under the vehicle and being traveled on by the vehicle and encompassing at least a portion of front tires of the vehicle, said first underbody camera capturing image data as the vehicle is moving; a second underbody camera disposed along the longitudinal centerline of the vehicle and rearward of the front wheels of the vehicle and forward of the rear wheels of the vehicle; wherein said second underbody camera has a field of view at least downward and rearward underneath the vehicle encompassing the ground surface under the vehicle and being traveled on by the vehicle and encompassing at least a portion of rear tires of the vehicle, said second underbody camera capturing image data as the vehicle is moving; a control disposed at the vehicle and having an image processor that processes image data captured by said first and second underbody cameras; wherein said control, responsive to processing of image data captured by said first underbody camera and/or said second underbody camera, detects an object that is present in the field of view of said first underbody camera and/or said second underbody camera and that is greater than a threshold height; and wherein said control, responsive to detection of the object under the vehicle, generates an output to inform a driver of the vehicle of the detected object.
