Abstract
A road image input system for controlling an automotive vehicle includes a pick-up mounted on the vehicle for picking up the image of a road ahead of the traveling vehicle, a sensor for sensing the traveling condition of the vehicle, and an image processor for obtaining information indicative of the road by setting an image processing window on the image which has been picked up and processing data contained within the image processing window. The image processing window is set at a position based on values of the vehicle velocity and the steering angle of the steering wheel.
