Abstract
Method and apparatus are disclosed for adjustable stacked filter arrays for vehicle cameras. An example vehicle includes a camera including a lens, and image sensors. The camera also includes LCD pass filter pixels and optical filter pixels stacked between the lens and the image sensors. The example vehicle also includes a filter controller to identify a first set of the optical filter pixels that form a filter setting and de-energize a first set of the LCD pass filter pixels to expose the first set of the optical filter pixels to form the filter setting.
