Abstract

A vision system for a vehicle includes a plurality of cameras disposed at the vehicle and respective fields of view exterior of the vehicle. An electronic control unit includes an image processor operable to process image data captured by any or all of the cameras. Responsive to image processing of captured image data, the electronic control unit is operable to determine objects present in the field of view of at least one of the cameras. Responsive to vehicle data, the electronic control unit determines a vehicle motion vector during driving of the vehicle by a driver of the vehicle. The electronic control unit compares the determined relative movement of a determined object to the determined vehicle motion vector and, responsive to a difference between the determined relative movement of the object and the determined vehicle motion vector, the electronic control unit determines a misalignment of the at least one camera.
