A vehicle-based video system includes a video processor, a plurality of
electronic sensor interfaces that are operable to receive image output
data from a plurality of sensor devices and at least one electronic
vehicle interface that is operable to communicate with a vehicle
communication bus. The video processor generates display signals for
displaying video information for viewing and use by a driver in the
vehicle for normal operation of the vehicle by the driver. The video
processor is operable to fuse data from at least one imaging device and
at least one non-imaging device into a single database in a standard
format. The video processor, in response to processing the fused data,
provides at least one output signal for conveying information to a driver
in the vehicle that is used by the driver in the vehicle when the vehicle
is being driven by the driver in the vehicle.
