Abstract
A vision system for a vehicle includes a plurality of cameras and a processor operable to process image data captured by the cameras to generate images derived from image data captured by at least some of the cameras. The processor is operable to generate a three dimensional vehicle representation. A display screen, viewable by a driver of the vehicle, is operable to display the generated images and the three dimensional vehicle representation as would be viewed from a virtual camera viewpoint exterior to and higher than the vehicle itself. A portion of the three dimensional vehicle representation is rendered as displayed to be at least partially transparent to enable viewing at the display screen of an object present exterior of the vehicle that would otherwise be partially hidden by non-transparent display of that portion of the three dimensional vehicle representation.
