`ABSTRACT
`
`A Vehicular Vision system includes a control and an imager
`having a lens and a CMOS photosensor array. The imager is
`disposed at an interior portion of a Vehicle and Views exterior
`ofthe Vehicle through a windshield ofthe Vehicle and forward
`of the Vehicle. The control includes an image processor for
`processing image data captured by the photo sensor array. The
`image processor processes captured image data to detect an
`object Viewed by said imager. The photosensor array may be
`operable at a plurality of exposure periods that include a first
`exposure period and a second exposure period, with the time
`period of exposure of the first exposure period being longer
`than the time period of exposure of the second exposure
`period. The imager may be disposed in a module attached at
`the windshield of the Vehicle.
