Abstract
A method for determining misalignment of a vehicular camera includes equipping a vehicle with a vehicular vision system having an electronic control unit and a plurality of cameras disposed at the vehicle so that each camera has a respective field of view exterior of the vehicle. Responsive to processing at the electronic control unit of received vehicle data during driving of the vehicle, the vehicular vision system determines a vehicle motion vector during driving of the vehicle. Frames of image data captured by the plurality of cameras are processed to determine an object motion vector of a detected object based on positions of the detected object in frames of image data captured by the camera. The determined object motion vector is compared to the determined vehicle motion vector to determine via the vehicular vision system that the camera of the plurality of cameras is misaligned.
