Abstract
A method of generating images for display includes equipping a vehicle with a vehicular vision system that includes a rearward viewing camera, an ECU and a display. The camera captures image data as the vehicle moves forward or rearward. The ECU includes an image processor that processes multiple frames of captured image data. The ECU generates, for each frame of image data captured by the camera, a left side image portion and a right side image portion. The ECU combines the left side image portions of multiple frames of captured image data and the right side image portions of multiple frames of captured image data. The combined left side image portions and the combined right side image portions are displayed at the display for viewing by the vehicle driver during a parking maneuver of the vehicle.
