A vehicular vision system includes an image sensor operable to capture image data and an image processor operable to process frames of captured image data. The image processor is operable to detect edges or corners in the captured images. The image processor is operable to determine a number of edges detected in individual frames of captured image data. The vision system adjusts a sensitivity of the image processor responsive to the determined number of edges detected in at least one frame of captured image data. The image processor may detect up to a selected maximum number of edges in a frame of captured image data, and the vision system may adjust the sensitivity of the image processor so that the determined number of edges detected in a subsequent frame of captured image data is at or near the selected maximum number of edges.

The vehicular vision system of claim 14, wherein the selected maximum number of corners is adjustable. 16. The vehicular vision system of claim 14, wherein the sensitivity of said image processor is adjusted so that, for any given frame of captured image data, said image processor is operable to detect a number of corners that is close to the capability of said image processor but not greater than the capability of said image processor. 17. The vehicular vision system of claim 13, wherein said image sensor comprises a high dynamic range sensor. 18. A vehicular vision system, said vehicular vision system comprising: an image sensor operable to capture frames of image data;an image processor operable to process captured image data;wherein said image processor is operable to determine edges in captured image data;wherein said image processor is operable to determine a number of edges detected in individual frames of captured image data;wherein said vision system adjusts a sensitivity of said image processor responsive to the determined number of edges detected in at least one frame of captured image data;wherein the sensitivity of said image processor is adjusted so that, for any given frame of captured image data, said image processor is operable to detect a number of edges that is close to the capability of said image processor but not greater than the capability of said image processor;wherein, when the determined number of edges detected in a frame of captured image data is above an upper threshold level, said vision system reduces the sensitivity of said image processor; andwherein, when the determined number of edges detected in a frame of captured image data is below a lower threshold level, said vision system increases the sensitivity of said image processor. 19. The vehicular vision system of claim 18, wherein said image processor is operable to detect up to a selected maximum number of edges in a given frame of captured image data, and wherein said vision system, responsive to the number of edges detected in a frame of captured image data, is operable to adjust the sensitivity of said image processor so that the determined number of edges detected in a subsequent frame of captured image data is at or near the selected maximum number of edges. 20.
