Abstract
A vehicular imaging system includes a camera operable to capture image data. The camera is configured for attachment at an upper windshield area of an in-cabin side of a windshield of a vehicle. An image processor is operable for processing image data captured by the camera. Captured image data is processed by the image processor for a collision avoidance system of the equipped vehicle. Captured image data is processed by the image processor for a lane departure warning system of the equipped vehicle. Responsive at least in part to processing by the image processor of captured image data, shadows viewed by the camera are detected. The vehicular imaging system determines misalignment of the camera responsive at least in part to processing by the image processor of captured image data.
