  • Patent number: 12240386
    Abstract: A vehicular vision system includes a camera disposed at a vehicle and viewing exterior of the vehicle. The vehicular vision system, responsive to detecting an object present exterior of the vehicle via processing of image data captured by the camera, determines location of the detected object relative to the vehicle. The vehicular vision system displays video images derived from the captured image data on a video display. The vehicular vision system generates a three-dimensional (3D) icon that includes a front face and a rear face opposing the front face with a length dimension between the faces. The 3D icon overlays the detected object and the front face faces toward a representation of the vehicle. Responsive to a chance in location of the object relative to the vehicle, the system adjusts the length dimension.
