Abstract

A vehicular vision system includes a global shutter camera disposed at a vehicle and a plurality of light emitters operable to emit light. With the vehicular vision system operating in a floodlight mode, the plurality of light emitters operates to emit light to illuminate a region. With the vehicular vision system operating in a reduced illumination mode, a reduced number of light emitters operates to emit light to illuminate a sub-region of the region. At least a portion of the sub-region is viewed by the global shutter camera, which captures image data at a frame-capture rate that is synchronized with a pulse rate of the reduced number of light emitters when the vehicular vision system is operating in the reduced illumination mode. With the vehicular vision system operating in the reduced illumination mode, image data captured by the global shutter camera is processed for a vehicle function.
