Abstract
A vehicular vision system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) disposed at a vehicle and a camera having a CMOS imaging sensor operable to capture image data. The ECU includes (i) a data processor and (ii) a DC power supply. A coaxial cable carries DC power from the DC power supply of the ECU to the camera. Image data captured by the camera is conveyed from the camera to the ECU via the coaxial cable. Calibration data may be conveyed from the camera to the ECU via the coaxial cable. The camera is in bidirectional communication with the ECU over the coaxial cable. The camera includes a data serializer and the ECU includes a data deserializer. The camera may include a front camera, a rear-viewing camera or an internal cabin surveillance camera.
