Abstract
A vision system (10) for a motor vehicle includes a stereo imaging apparatus (11) adapted to capture images from a surrounding of the motor vehicle, a disparity calculation block (17) adapted to calculate a stereo disparity of left/right images captured by the stereo imaging apparatus (11), and a processing device (14) adapted to perform image processing of images captured by the imaging apparatus (11). The vision system is adapted to perform time sharing of the disparity calculation block (17) between the stereo disparity calculation and calculation of a one-dimensional optical flow of captured images in a horizontal direction only.
