Abstract

An image capture system is provided for a vehicle equipped with a display for displaying streamed video images of a scene proximate the vehicle. The image capture system includes a camera for capturing video images of the scene proximate the vehicle at a selected exposure time and streaming the video images, and an image processing unit for receiving the streamed video images, processing the streamed video images and supplying the streamed video images to the display. The image processing unit is configured to detect amplitude-modulated light sources in the streamed video images, and adjust the exposure time of the camera to match a multiple of a modulation frequency of the amplitude-modulated light sources decreasing a flicker intensity of the amplitude-modulated light sources in the streamed video images supplied to the display.
