A method for dynamically calibrating a vehicular camera includes disposing a camera at a vehicle and operating the camera to capture multiple frames of image data while the vehicle is in motion and is steered within at least two ranges of steering angles. Feature points are determined in an image frame when the vehicle is steered within a respective range of steering angles, and motion trajectories of those feature points are tracked in subsequent image frames for the respective range of steering angles. A horizon line is determined based on the tracked feature points. Responsive to determination that the determined horizon line is non-parallel to the horizontal axis of the image plane, at least one of pitch, roll or yaw of the camera is adjusted. Image data captured by the camera is processed at the control for object detection.
