Abstract

A vehicle includes a camera system configured for machine vision functionality and including an image sensor and a shutter, and an exterior lighting system configured to selectively provide a normal illumination and a predetermined peak illumination. A control system is configured to selectively open the shutter to obtain a machine vision image with the image sensor, synchronize the exterior lighting system to provide the predetermined peak illumination while the shutter is open to thereby increase a range of the machine vision, and output the machine vision image to a vehicle system for further use.
