1. A vehicular vision system, the vehicular vision system comprising:
a camera disposed at a vehicle equipped with the vehicular vision system, the camera viewing exterior of the equipped vehicle, wherein the camera is operable to capture image data;
wherein the camera comprises a CMOS imaging array, and wherein the CMOS imaging array comprises at least one million photosensors arranged in rows and columns;
an electronic control unit (ECU) comprising electronic circuitry and associated software;
wherein the electronic circuitry of the ECU comprises an image processor for processing image data captured by the camera;
a video display disposed in the equipped vehicle and operable to display video images derived from image data captured by the camera;
wherein, during a driving maneuver, the vehicular vision system displays video images derived from the captured image data on the video display;
wherein, during the driving maneuver, the vehicular vision system, at least in part via processing at the ECU of image data captured by the camera, detects an object present exterior of the equipped vehicle;
wherein the vehicular vision system, responsive to detecting the object present exterior of the equipped vehicle, determines location of the detected object relative to the equipped vehicle and determines a portion of the detected object that is closest to the equipped vehicle;
wherein the vehicular vision system generates a graphic overlay, and wherein the graphic overlay comprises a three-dimensional (3D) icon, and wherein the 3D icon comprises a width and a height defining a front face of the 3D icon, and wherein the 3D icon comprises a rear face opposing the front face, and wherein the 3D icon has a length dimension between the front face and the rear face;
wherein the vehicular vision system displays the graphic overlay with the displayed video images on the video display;
wherein the 3D icon overlays the portion of the detected object that is closest to the equipped vehicle;
wherein the front face of the overlaid 3D icon faces toward a representation of the equipped vehicle displayed on the video display; and
wherein the vehicular vision system, responsive to determining a change in location of the detected object relative to the equipped vehicle, adjusts the length dimension of the 3D icon overlaid at the portion of the detected object based on the determined change in location of the detected object, and wherein the length dimension of the 3D icon decreases as the distance between the detected object and the equipped vehicle decreases.
