Abstract
A vehicular vision system includes an interior rearview mirror assembly having a mirror head adjustable about a mounting base. At least one near infrared light emitter is accommodated by the mirror head and is operable to emit near infrared light toward a head region of the driver of the vehicle that does not pass through a transflective mirror reflector of an electrochromic mirror reflective element of the mirror assembly. A driver monitoring camera is accommodated by the mirror head and moves in tandem with the mirror head when the mirror head is adjusted relative to the mounting base to adjust a driver's rearward view. The driver monitoring camera does not view through the transflective mirror reflector of the electrochromic mirror reflective element. The system adjusts processing of captured image data to accommodate adjustment of the mirror head when the driver adjusts the mirror head to adjust the driver's rearward view.
